Body Mass Index and Adult Weight Gain Among Reproductive Age Women With Migraine

(Headache 2011;51:559‐569) Objective.— To evaluate the cross‐sectional relationship between migraine and pregravid obesity; and to assess the risk of adult weight gain among women with history of a pediatric diagnosis of migraine. Background.— Obesity, comorbid with pain disorders including migraine...

Description
Summary:(Headache 2011;51:559‐569) Objective.— To evaluate the cross‐sectional relationship between migraine and pregravid obesity; and to assess the risk of adult weight gain among women with history of a pediatric diagnosis of migraine. Background.— Obesity, comorbid with pain disorders including migraine, shares common pathophysiological characteristics including systemic inflammation, and derangements in adipose‐tissue derived cytokines. Despite biochemical and epidemiological commonalities, obesity–migraine associations have been inconsistently observed. Methods.— A cohort of 3733 women was interviewed during early pregnancy. We ascertained participants' self‐reported history of physician‐diagnosed migraine and collected self‐reported information about pregravid weight, adult height, and net weight change from age 18 to the 3‐months period before pregnancy. Using pregravid body mass index, we categorized participants as follows: lean (
