No, edema and beriberi are not the same. Edema refers to the swelling caused by the accumulation of fluid in tissues, which can result from various medical conditions. Beriberi, on the other hand, is a disease caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1), leading to symptoms such as weakness, nerve damage, and cardiovascular issues. While both conditions can involve fluid-related symptoms, they stem from different causes and have distinct implications for health.
