J Nyberg, MAI Åberg, K Torén, M Nilsson… - Neurology, 2013 - AAN Enterprises
Objective: To analyze the associations between cardiovascular fitness at age 18 years and
future risk of epilepsy. Methods: Population-based cohort study of Swedish male conscripts
(n= 1,173,079) born in 1950–1987, who were followed for up to 40 years. Data on
cardiovascular fitness were collected during conscription exams and linked with hospital
registers to calculate later risk of epilepsy using Cox proportional hazard models controlling
for several confounders, including familial factors. Results: Epilepsy was recorded in 6,796 …
