摘要: Research has shown that Danish Gulf War (GW) veterans reported a significantly higher prevalence of neuropsychological symptoms than did military controls 6 years after GW deployment. To explore the possible central nervous system determinants these complaints, tests were administered to stratified, random samples cohort 916 GW-deployed and 236 non–GW-deployed participants. Multivariate analyses covariance used analyze test outcomes among 215 male participants (143 72 soldiers). No significant differences in performances found between groups. Troops deployed more mood complaints (i.e., fatigue confusion) their nondeployed counterparts. Because they assigned region during postcombat phase, soldiers differed from majority American troops assignments toxicant exposures.
