§ Because of different methodologies, estimates of comorbidities among adults with no history of epilepsy differ from those in a previously published report (Ward BW, Schiller JS. Prevalence of multiple chronic conditions among US adults: estimates from the National Health Interview Survey, 2010. Prev Chronic Dis. 2013;10:E65).
