The objective was to identify the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of a large sample of patients with migraine in Mexico City. This cross–sectional study was performed in two tertiary centers in Mexico City and affiliated hospitals. We evaluated the presence of migraine through a standardised interview according to the criteria of the International Headache Society. We studied 1147 patients. The mean age was 37.1±13.6 (6–77) years. Nine hundred and twenty one patients were female (80%). The age of onset of migraine was 19.4±10.3 (1–69) years. Six hundred and four patients had migraine with aura (53%) and 543 without aura (47%). The female/male ratio was 4:1. One hundred and forty–seven patients had cardiovascular problems (13%), 72 had neurological problems (6%), 233 had gastrointestinal problems (20%) and 323 had psychiatric problems (28%). In this study we described the clinical characteristics of a large sample of patients with migraine in Mexico City. Our sample has similar characteristics to other countries.

Context:Migraine is a type of primary headache that affects 10% to 20% of people worldwide. Recent studies have reported different prevalences of migraine in Iran. Hence, this study aimed to review current evidences related to the prevalence of migraine in different parts of Iran. Evidence Acquisition: A literature search was done for related articles published between 1998 and 2014 on PubMed, Science Direct, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, Scopus for English language articles, and on Iran Medex, Magiran and SID (Scientific Information Database) for Persian (Farsi) language articles by the following keywords: "migraine", "headache", "prevalence" and "Iran". Results:In most evaluated studies, migraine had a higher prevalence in middle-age individuals and females. The prevalence of migraine in adults varies from 7.14% to 18.11%, and the maximum and minimum prevalence was reported from Tehran and Zahedan, respectively. In children and adolescences, the prevalence varies from 1.7% to 12.3%, and the lowest and highest prevalence were found in Shiraz and Yazd, respectively. Conclusions: Based on the current findings, the prevalence of migraine in evaluated studies was high. Therefore, it is recommended for public health authorities to detect the reasons for the high prevalence of this disease and set appropriate strategies to prevent this disorder.
