Abstract

Background: The strikingly higher prevalence of migraine in females compared with males is one of the hallmarks of migraine. A large global body of evidence exists on the sex differences in the prevalence of migraine with female to male ratios ranging from 2 : 1 to 3 : 1 and peaking in midlife. Some data are available on sex differences in associated symptoms, headache‐related disability and impairment, and healthcare resource utilization in migraine. Few data are available on corresponding sex differences in probable migraine ( PM ) and other severe headache (ie, nonmigraine‐spectrum severe headache). Gaining a clear understanding of sex differences in a range of severe headache disorders may help differentiate the range of headache types. Herein, we compare sexes on prevalence and a range of clinical variables for migraine, PM , and other severe headache in a large sample from the US population. Methods: This study analyzed data from the 2004 A merican M igraine P revalence and P revention S tudy. Total and demographic‐stratified sex‐specific, prevalence estimates of headache subtypes (migraine, PM , and other severe headache) are reported. Log‐binomial models are used to calculate sex‐specific adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals for each across demographic strata. A smoothed sex prevalence ratio (female to male) figure is presented for migraine and PM . Results: One hundred sixty‐two thousand seven hundred fifty‐six individuals aged 12 and older responded to the 2004 A merican M igraine P revalence and P revention Study survey (64.9% response rate). Twenty‐eight thousand two hundred sixty‐one (17.4%) reported “severe headache” in the preceding year (23.5% of females and 10.6% of males), 11.8% met I nternational C lassification of H eadache D isorders‐2 criteria for migraine (17.3% of females and 5.7% of males), 4.6% met criteria for PM (5.3% of females and 3.9% of males), and 1.0% were categorized with other severe headache (0.9% of females and 1.0% of males). Sex differences were observed in the prevalence of migraine and PM , but not for other severe headache. Adjusted female to male prevalence ratios ranged from 1.48 to 3.25 across the lifetime for migraine and from 1.22 to 1.53 for PM . Sex differences were also observed in associated symptomology, aura, headache‐related disability, healthcare resource utilization, and diagnosis for migraine and PM . Despite higher rates of migraine diagnosis by a healthcare professional, females with migraine were less likely than males to be using preventive pharmacologic treatment for headache. Conclusions: In this large, US population sample, both migraine and PM were more common among females, but a sex difference was not observed in the prevalence of other severe headache. The sex difference in migraine and PM held true across age and for most other sociodemographic variables with the exception of race for PM . Females with migraine and PM had higher rates of most migraine symptoms, aura, greater associated impairment, and higher healthcare resource utilization than males. Corresponding sex differences were not observed among individuals with other severe headache on the majority of these comparisons. Results suggest that PM is part of the migraine spectrum whereas other severe headache types are not. Results also substantiate existing literature on sex differences in primary headaches and extend results to additional headache types and related factors.

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.
