High prevalence of eating epilepsy has previously been reported from the Central Province of Sri Lanka, though it is considered to be a rare condition in the rest of the world. We prospectively studied 526 patients in a different province for seizure provoking factors. Eating epilepsy was found among 28 patients (5.3%) supporting previous observations.
此前有报道称，斯里兰卡中部省份的饮食性癫痫患病率很高，不过在世界其他地区，这种疾病被认为较为罕见。我们对另一个省份的526名患者进行了前瞻性研究，以寻找诱发癫痫发作的因素。在28名患者（5.3%）中发现了饮食性癫痫，这支持了之前的观察结果。
