Research Summary

A study published in Frontiers in Neurology examines the evolving burden of migraine in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, with projections to 2031. Researchers analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, focusing on incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). The findings reveal an increase in the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and prevalence rate (ASPR) worldwide and in China, with females consistently more affected than males. The burden peaks in the 10-14 age group for incidence and 30-34 for prevalence and DALYs. Forecasts suggest a continued rise in migraine burden, particularly among males in China.
