Methods: 727 non-frail participants, aged ≥65years, with 25(OH)D measurement at baseline in 2009, were followed for 2.9±0.
Aim: The aim of the present analysis is to confirm or refute the association of neck pain to migraine or tension-type headache and to assess whether this association is independent of other risk factors for headache.
Methods: Secondary school students were invited to complete a questionnaire on headache and lifestyle factors in a cross-sectional study. Neck pain was assessed via (a) a screening question concerning neck pain and (b) denoting affected areas in schematic drawings of the human body.
