Migraine Burden Rising: Insights from China and Global Trends

Research Summary

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neurology delves into the rising burden of migraines in China and across the globe from 1990 to 2021. Analyzing data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease study, researchers found a significant increase in migraine cases, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), with China's rates surpassing the global average. The burden is notably higher among adolescents, young adults, and females. Health inequality analysis reveals a concentrated migraine burden in high socio-demographic index countries. Population growth is identified as a key driver, and future projections suggest a continued rise in China, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
