探索社会经济地位(SES)和头痛之间关系的流行率研究显示出相互矛盾的结果。这是第一项分析SES与头痛风险关系的前瞻性研究。在1984-1986年间，SES对22685名不太可能患有头痛的成年人进行了基线分类，并在11年后(1995-1997年)的随访中回答了头痛问卷。根据教育水平、职业和收入来定义基线上的社会支持指数。评估SES患者在随访时频繁头痛和慢性头痛(分别大于或等于15天/月)的风险。当根据教育水平或职业类型来定义SES时，低地位与随访时频繁和慢性头痛的风险增加相关。随着个人收入的增加，频繁和慢性头痛的风险降低，但仅限于男性。我们的结论是，SES低的个体比SES高的个体有更高的频繁和慢性头痛的风险。
Prevalence studies exploring the relation between socio-economic status (SES) and headache have shown conflicting results. This is the first prospective study analysing the relation between SES and risk of headache. A total of 22 685 adults not likely to suffer from headache were classified by SES at baseline in 1984-1986, and responded to a headache questionnaire in a follow-up 11 years later (1995-1997). SES at baseline was defined by educational level, occupation, and income. The risk of frequent headache and chronic headache (>6, and greater than or equal to15 days/month, respectively) at follow-up was estimated in relation to SES. When defining SES by educational level or type of occupation, low status was associated with increased risk of frequent and chronic headache at follow-up. The risk of frequent and chronic headache decreased with increasing individual income, but only among men. We conclude that individuals with low SES had higher risk of frequent and chronic headache than people with high SES.
