Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Although several lines of evidence suggest a link between migraine and cardiovascular events, less is known about the association between cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and migraine. This knowledge is clinically important to provide directions on mitigating the cardiovascular risk in patients with migraine. We hypothesized that CVRFs are associated with a higher migraine prevalence. Therefore, our primary objective was to investigate sex-specific associations between CVRFs and lifetime prevalence of migraine.
