摘要
A previous study has suggested that epilepsy is commoner in prisons than in the general population. We devised a standard definition of “epilepsy” and then interviewed a representative sample of the “ epileptics ” in prisons: The results confirmed the initial conclusion, and showed the point prevalence of epilepsy in prison and Borstals to be at least 7*1/1,000 men. © 1969, British Medical Journal Publishing Group.
