Key clinical point: An increased waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), indicating central obesity, was associated with an increased incidence of migraine, particularly in individuals aged <60 years.
Major findings: Each unit increase in WHtR was associated with a 70% increase in the incidence of migraines (odds ratio [OR], 1.70; 95% CI, 1.04-2.78). Individuals in the highest WHtR quartile (WHtR values, 0.64-1.01) had a 13% greater incidence of migraines than those in the lowest quartile (WHtR values, 0.35-0.52; OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.99-1.28). For individuals aged <60 years, each unit increase in WHtR was associated with an 82% increased risk for migraine (P < .01); however, WHtR was negatively associated with migraine risk among those aged ≥60 years.
Study details: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, including 13,344 participants, of whom 2764 had migraines. Disclosure: The study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
