Article Synopsis
- A study validated a case definition for Gulf War illness that identifies three primary symptom variants in veterans who served in the Gulf War, demonstrating objective brain function abnormalities.
- A large representative sample of 8,020 veterans was surveyed, and statistical analysis confirmed the accuracy and prevalence of the illness, showing it to be significantly more common in deployed veterans compared to nondeployed ones.
- The study concluded that the case definition is applicable to the broader Gulf War veteran population, making it a useful tool for further research on the illness.
