A Kansas study reported 34 percent of Gulf War veterans surveyed in 1998 showed symptoms of illness linked to service, versus 8 percent among non Gulf veterans. The research, led by epidemiologist Lea Steele, examined 2000 plus veterans and noted higher risk for those who served in Iraq or Kuwait. The findings, published in The American Journal of Epidemiology, suggest location and exposure affect Gulf War related health problems.
