Risk factors for epilepsy in a rural area in Tanzania. A community-based case-control study.

abstract：:Stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality rates were analyzed in Brazilian subjects older than 30 years of age from 1979 to 1996. Population estimates were based on census surveys. Mortality data were obtained from the Ministry of Health. For stroke, the age-adjusted death rate (ADR) dropped from 200 to 164 an...
