Mortality Among Norwegian Military Veterans From Peacekeeping Service in Kosovo During 1999-2020

Peacekeeping service in Kosovo was not associated with increased risk of mortality during deployment and postdischarge.

However, lack of specific exposure data, such as particulate air pollution at the duty locations and data on tobacco smoking at the individual level are study weaknesses.
