EPILEPSY IN THE ETHNOCULTURAL ASPECT

Abstract

Based on a clinical and epidemiological study of epilepsy among the indigenous and non-indigenous population in the Mashtaga settlement of Baku city (2016-2019), 197 patients with various forms of epilepsy aged 0 to 69 years were identified. In parallel, the ethnic aspect of the disease was studied. During the study period, certain ethnic characteristics of the indigenous population were identified, which influenced the prevalence of epilepsy, as well as its social frame and the characteristics of its clinical manifestations. As a result of the study, it turned out to be likely that brain neurons in male Asians in the northeast of the Great Silk Road and Hispanics in South America are relatively more prone to developing excessive neuronal discharges.
