Abstract
Gulf War unexplained illnesses (GWUI) are a heterogeneous
collection of symptoms of unknown origin known to be more common
among veterans of the Gulf War than among nonveterans. In the
present study we focused on one of these unexplained illnesses.
We tested the hypothesis that in a sample of Persian Gulf War
veterans chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) was associated with
cognitive deficits on computerized cognitive testing after
controlling for the effects of premorbid cognitive differences.
We obtained Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) data acquired
around the date of induction into the military on 94 veterans
of the Gulf War, 32 with CFS and 62 healthy controls. Controls
performed better than participants diagnosed with CFS on the
AFQT. Cognitive deficits were associated with CFS on 3 of 8
variables after the effect of premorbid AFQT scores was removed
with ANCOVA. (JINS, 2001, 7, 835–839.)
