Studies from around the world have reported that children with epilepsy (CWE) are more likely to have sleep and behavioural problems. Both sleep and behavioural problems can affect treatment and quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate sleep and behaviour in Jamaican CWE.

Health is affected by social,economic, and biological factors which are often disproportionately distributed between genders. Identifying differences will facilitate evidence-based responses.This paper examines gender differences in chronic diseases and risk factors among persons ≥60 years. A nationally-representative, community-based survey (N = 2943) was conducted in 2012. Interviewers collected demographic, socio-economic, health, and lifestyle data. Clinical data were obtained from a randomly selected sub-sample (n = 373).
