C Hinnell, J Williams, A Metcalfe, SB Patten… - …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose: The negative impact of epilepsy is disproportionate to its prevalence. Our
objectives were to determine if health‐related behaviors (HRBs) and health status differ
between patients with epilepsy, migraine, or diabetes. Methods: The 2001–2005 Canadian
Community Health Survey (N= 400,055) was used to explore health status and HRBs in
patients with epilepsy, migraine, and diabetes and in the general population. Weighted
estimates of association were produced as proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) …
