ABSTRACT
An epidemiological survey of the Korsakoff syndrome was made in The Hague, The Netherlands, by interviewing workers of all relevant health care organisations in that city. A prevalence of 4.8 per 10,000 inhabitants was found. The mean age of patients was 62 years. Seventy-five percent of all patients had already been hospitalised for several years. Physical and mental health, as judged by other medical diagnoses, was poor.
