Prevalence and Correlates of Migraine Among Women Attending a Prenatal Care Clinic in Lima, Peru

Abstract: Migraine headaches are among the leading causes of disability in the world. The burden of migraines is highest in women of reproductive age. This cross-sectional study characterized the prevalence, symptoms and correlates of migrainous headaches in 154 pregnant women attending a prenatal care clinic in Lima, Peru. Lifetime prevalence of migraine defined by modified IHS criteria was 9.1% (95% CI 4.6-13.6). When probable migraines were included, the lifetime prevalence of migraine in this population was 29.2% (9… Show more

“…Our prevalence estimates of lifetime history of migraine (28.2%) are somewhat higher than previous estimates from other pregnancy cohorts (9–20%), (Adeney et al, 2006; Frederick et al, 2014) yet comparable to the 2011 National Health Interview Survey’s three-month prevalence of migraine or other severe headache among women of reproductive age (26.1%) (Smitherman et al, 2013). Although slightly attenuated, our observations are also concordant with other cross-sectional population-level studies across North America reporting on associations between migraine and mood disorders in non-pregnant populations.…”

“…Despite their non-lethality, migraines are a personal and societal burden, ubiquitous, and disabling (WHO, 2011). Estimates of lifetime prevalence of migraine among pregnant women range from 9–20% (Adeney et al, 2006; Frederick et al, 2014). Several studies have reported higher frequencies of preterm delivery, low birth weight, placental abruption, preeclampsia, and other hypertensive disorders among pregnant migraineurs when compared to pregnant non-migraineurs (Adeney and Williams, 2006; Chen et al, 2010; Marozio et al, 2012; Sanchez et al, 2010; Williams et al, 2011).…”

“…1 Migraine in the female population appears to be closely tied with reproductive cycling, with a substantial increase in the risk of migraine at puberty and a subsequent decline after menopause. 1 Researchers evaluating the link between migraine and the menstrual cycle have found that from 50% to 68% of women experience menstrual migraine (MM) attacks, which occur during the perimenstrual period, [9][10][11][12][13] generally between 1 The Headache Institute, St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, New York. 2 Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.…”

“…Both migraine and depression are prevalent among women in Lima, Peru (Adeney et al, 2006; Peru, 2002). A survey conducted in the metropolitan areas of Lima and Callao documented a high prevalence of lifetime depressive disorders (23%) (Peru, 2002).…”
