Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the connection between migraines and structural brain changes in a sizable middle-aged and elderly population, noting that existing research has conflicting results on this topic.
- - Using data from the Rotterdam Study, researchers assessed migraine history and conducted MRI scans on nearly 5,000 participants, analyzing brain volumes and markers of small vessel disease while controlling for various factors.
- - Results revealed no significant differences in brain volume or small vessel disease markers between individuals with and without migraines, indicating that migraines may not be linked to harmful structural brain changes in this population.
Background And Objectives: 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.

Methods: From the population-based Rotterdam Study, we included 6593 participants who underwent blood sampling and migraine assessments.
Background: It has been suggested that patients with migraine have a higher risk of stroke. Despite considerable research on this topic in younger populations, a clear answer is still lacking for older individuals. We studied the association between migraine and the risk of stroke in a middle-aged and elderly population.
