The epidemiology, burden, and comorbidities of migraine
Abstract
We describe the epidemiology and comorbidities of migraine, which affects 12% of adults in occidental countries. Prevalence is three times higher in women, but 6% of men are affected, making it the most prevalent neurologic disorder in men. Although migraine is a remarkably common cause of temporary disability, many migraineurs have never consulted a physician for the problem. Many disorders are comorbid with migraine. For some such as depression, the association has been well described, but for others, the relationship has been recently suggested, such as in the case of clinical and subclinical vascular brain lesions and coronary heart disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
