Objective: To determine the prevalence of migraine and its associated factors in students at the University of Parakou. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study carried out from February 1st to April 30th 2011. It included all students registered during the academic year 2010-2011 and selected by systematic random sampling. Migraine was defined according to IHS 2004 criteria. To assess the link between migraine and body mass index we collected height and weight of each student. Multivariate analysis was used to study the factors associated with migraine, odds-ratio and their confidence interval were estimated. SPSS Soft-ware was used to perform statistical analysis. Results: During the study period 1200, students returned their questionnaires. They were 842 males and 358 females. 171 fulfilled migraine criteria, and the overall prevalence of migraine was 14.2% (CI 95%: 11.6% -17.4%). The main associated factors were the sex with an OR: 2.3 (CI 95%: 1.6 -3.2) and family history of headache with an OR: 1.6 (CI 95%: 1.1 -2.4). Migraine with aura was the frequent form (59.1%) and visual aura the frequent form of aura. No association was found between migraine and body mass index but students with obesity had high risk of migraine with aura OR: 3.8 (CI 95%: 1.5 -9.7) compared with those with normal weight. The main triggering factors were sleeplessness (90.1%) and mental fatigue (85.4%). Conclusion: The results suggest a high prevalence of migraine among students at Parakou University and no association between obesity and migraine.

“…Peres et al [39] were the first assessing primary headache diagnosis in obese patients and migraine was the most common diagnosis, while chronic daily headache (chronic migraine and chronic TTH) was present in 12.2 %. In 2008, Keith et al [40] reported that a BMI of *20 was associated with the lowest likelihood of headache, while obese women had significantly increased risk for headache.…”

Several dietary habits and lifestyles can be associated with different headache types or with their progression to chronic forms. Different population-based studies have tried to investigate this relationship with poor or contradictory results. We shortly reported the current knowledges available in literature in this regard, paying particular attention to the role that certain factors play in modifying frequency and intensity of headache in adults and in adolescents. Future studies are necessary to clarify the real weight which the different factors have in natural history and in clinic evolution of headache, especially in adolescence, but the already known data suggest an important modulating action. If they will be confirmed, these results will be likely to influence clinical practice as well to address educational programs in preadolescents and adolescents.

“…Horev et al (39) show that incidence of migraine headache among morbid obese individual was 48% higher as compared with non-obese control groups (40). Furthermore this observation was supported by Peres et al so that migraine headache was reported as 66% of obese patients in comparison with 18.5% of non-obese subjects (14). Moreover other studies have suggested that there is the association between migraine and obesity among men and in reproductive age women (39) and also in youngster age (37).…”

“…In addition, both obesity and migraine are important risk factors for chronic cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction (7)(8)(9), ischemic stroke, and other inflammatory disease (10,11). Several studies showed that obesity is a risk factor for migraine development and frequency of headache in adults (12)(13)(14). The relationship between obesity and migraine would be important, since the increasing prevalence of obesity (15) may lead to an elevation in the prevalence, severity and frequency of migraine and may be a possible target for prevention.…”

Background: Migraine is a common and chronic neuro-inflammatory disease with progressive and episodic headache manifestation that leads to considerable disability. Many studies recognized that obesity is a risk factor for progression of migraine. Furthermore, both migraine and obesity is highly prevalent and important risk factors of chronic cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other inflammatory disease. Thus, it is very important if weight loss could alleviate the migraine headache and its related comorbidities. Aim: The present review article was conducted to assess the potential effect of Bariatric surgery on improvement of migraine headaches in morbid obese patients. Search Strategy: Scopus, PubMed and web of science electronic database were systematically searched with key words of "Bariatric surgery", "gastric Bypass"; "Morbid Obesity" and "Migraine headache" for interventional studies investigated the impact of Bariatric surgery on migraine headache. Results: The findings suggest significant improvement in headache frequency, duration, migraine-induced discomfort and migraine derived symptoms (nausea, phono and photophobia and) occurs as early as 3 months after bariatric surgery. Moreover, patients who had higher weight loss were more likely to experience a 50% or higher reduction in headache frequency, duration and severity. Conclusions:The entire evidences suggest patients with indications of bariatric surgery will benefit from the improvements in the Migraine headache after surgery. However, it remains unclear whether Bariatric-induced endocrine, gut-brain axis alterations, or reduction in adipokine contribute to migraine improvement, so further studies are needed to confirm and clarify these findings.
