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

Research Summary

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neurology examined the trends in migraine burden in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, with a forecast to 2031. Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, researchers analyzed changes in migraine incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Findings reveal that both globally and in China, the age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates have risen, with females consistently experiencing higher rates than males. Migraine incidence peaks in adolescents, while prevalence and DALYs peak in young adults. Projections indicate an upward trend in migraine burden, particularly for males in China, over the next decade.
