Incidence and Risk Factors of Epilepsy Among Older Adults in the US Medicare Population
Our findings highlight the spatial heterogeneity of epilepsy burden in the US Medicare population and underscore the importance of contextual SEDH factors, such as sleep, mobility, and infrastructure, in shaping disease patterns. These insights may help guide targeted public health interventions and resource allocation.
