Migraine Trends: Global and China Insights to 2031

Research Summary

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neurology examines the trends in migraine burden both in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, with projections extending to 2031. Utilizing the Global Burden of Disease Study data, researchers found that migraine incidence and prevalence have increased over the years, with females experiencing consistently higher rates across all age groups. The study highlighted that migraine incidence peaks in those aged 10-14, while prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are highest in individuals aged 30-34. Forecasts indicate that these trends will continue to rise, particularly among males in China, emphasizing the need for further research to understand risk factors and improve early diagnosis and treatment.
