| Abstract: | Objective The aim of the current study is to assess how Big Five personality traits can predict the risks of epilepsy diagnosis in 7 years. Methods The current study analyzed data from 17, 789 participants who participated in Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) at Wave 3 (collected between 2011 and 2012) and Wave 10 (collected between 2018 and 2019) with a mean age of 47.01 (S.D.=16.31) years old with 42.62% males. Results Results revealed that Neuroticism is positively related to the risks of epilepsy diagnosis in 7 years in males (OR=1.32, p<0.05, 95% C.I. [1.01, 1.71]) but not in females. Conclusion There is a need to include personality traits in routine assessments by health professionals, as they could identify individuals with a greater risk of developing epilepsy. Moreover, sex differences must be taken into account. |
