Prevalence and Risk Factors of Migraine in a Cross-Sectional Population Study

Abstract

Background: Migraine is a common and debilitating neurological disorder affecting a significant portion of the population. Understanding its prevalence and associated risk factors is essential for effective management and prevention. Methods: We conducted a crosssectional population study involving 200 participants randomly selected from a diverse urban population. Participants were interviewed using a structured questionnaire to assess the presence of migraine, its frequency, and associated symptoms. Additionally, demographic and lifestyle factors, such as age, gender, smoking habits, and dietary patterns, were recorded.
