Migraine Burden Trends in China & Globally: 1990-2031 Study

Research Summary

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neurology explored the burden of migraine in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, with a forecast up to 2031. Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, researchers analyzed patterns in incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Findings revealed an increase in the worldwide age-standardized incidence rate of migraines from 1136.90 to 1153.20 per 100,000, with China's rate rising from 917.35 to 975.61 per 100,000. The study highlights that migraines predominantly affect females and peak in adolescence and early adulthood. Forecasts predict a continued rise in migraine burden, necessitating further research on risk factors and effective interventions.
