MAny Risk Factors Involved With Migraine Headaches

While doctors and researchers still do not know exactly what causes migraine headaches, they have been able to establish certain risk factors. Migraine headaches can occur for several reasons, but statistics have shown some interesting theories.

Doctors have been able to establish that family history, age, gender and hormonal changes hold certain risk factors for migraine headaches. Some of these risk factors overlap.

Family history

It is approximated that around 90 percent of patients who experience migraine headaches have a family history. Unfortunately, if one or both of a patient’s parents experience migraine headaches the patient is likely to suffer as well.

Age

Many migraine headache sufferers experience their first migraine headache during adolescence. Typically, by age 40, most sufferers will have experienced their first migraine headache. Migraine headaches typically affect ages 15 to 55. However, they can also affect around 10 percent of children.

Gender

Gender and age tend to cloud together more than most. Young boys are more likely to have migraine headaches than young girls. However, women are more likely to experience migraine headaches. This shift usually occurs around the time of puberty or not long after puberty. Researchers believe that women experience migraine headaches in a three to one ratio to men. This ratio is projected across the world not just in the United States. It is projected that migraine headaches affect approximately 18 percent of all women and six percent of all men. Although, there are some theories that this statistic could be skewed.

Some researchers believe that women are more likely to experience migraine headaches do to hormonal changes within their bodies. These hormonal changes typically involve estrogen and progesterone.

Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes are commonly a cause of migraine headaches. Some women experience headache just before or just after the onset of their menstruation. The hormone changes during pregnancy or menopause can also be a cause of migraine headaches. Commonly women in their first trimester complain of migraine headaches that ease later in the pregnancy.

While not all sufferers fit into these guidelines, these are the most commonly associated risk factors. Only a doctor is able to accurately diagnose migraine headaches.
