  • Analysis involved 1,523 participants from Bashkortostan, assessing various demographic and health factors.

  • These results highlight the need for improved awareness of epilepsy in older age groups to address potential underreporting.

Abstract

Self-reported lifetime epilepsy symptoms, experienced at any period of life and assessed using a questionnaire with standardized questions, were reported by 23 of 1,523 participants (1.5%) in this very old population in Bashkortostan.
