| Abstract |
Previous studies have identified an association between obesity and socioeconomic variables such as poverty, minority status, and a low level of education. Because obesity is a major risk factor for the development of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), this study aims to identify and assess relationships between socioeconomic and geographic variables in patients with IIH in Canada. |
