本研究评估了参加 2003 年全国健康访谈调查的 40,892 名美国男性、女性和儿童中偏头痛患病率的年龄和性别特征。高斯混合模型描述了偏头痛、年龄和性别之间的关系。偏头痛患病率为 8.6%（男性）、17.5%（女性）和 13.2%（总体），并且在两性中均呈现双峰分布（高峰在青少年和 20 多岁以及 50 岁左右）。从 3 岁到 20 多岁，男女偏头痛患病率的变化率增长最快。 10岁以后，女性偏头痛的患病率高于男性。在女性育龄/生育年龄期间，女性与男性的患病率最高，这与月经和偏头痛之间的关系一致。 42 岁以后，女性的患病率大约高出 2 倍。
The present study assessed age-and sex-specific patterns of migraine prevalence in a US population of 40,892 men, women, and children who participated in the 2003 National Health Interview Survey. Gaussian mixture models characterised the relationship between migraine, age, and sex. Migraine prevalence was 8.6% (males), 17.5% (females), and 13.2% (overall) and showed a bimodal distribution in both sexes (peaking in the late teens and 20s and around 50 years of age). Rate of change in migraine prevalence for both sexes increased the fastest from age 3 years to the mid-20s. Beyond the age of 10 years, females had a higher prevalence of migraine than males. The prevalence ratio for females versus males was highest during the female reproductive/child-bearing years, consistent with a relationship between menstruation and migraine. After age 42 years, the prevalence ratio was approximately 2-fold higher in women.
