BACKGROUND: Migraine has been suggested to be associated with hypertension. The aim of the present 5-year prospective cohort study was to examine whether self-reported migraine in 1998 predicted hypertension in 2003 in a Finnish working-age population. METHODS: This cohort study consisted of 13 454 randomly selected initially non-hypertensive working-age participants of the prospective postal survey of the Health and Social Support. A total of 13 426 responses of the initial participants were linked with the register data of the Social Insurance Institution on the special reimbursement medication for hypertension. The outcome variable, hypertension, was determined according to the survey data and the register data of the Social Insurance Institution. The statistical analysis was carried out using logistic regression. RESULTS: In a multivariate model adjusted for gender, age, occupational training, living alone, metabolic equivalent of task, body mass index and alcohol consumption, self-reported migraine predicted hypertension (odds ratio 1.39; 95% confidence interval 1.19-1.64) for the self-reported and (odds ratio 1.42; 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.77) for the register data of the Social Insurance Institution. CONCLUSION: The findings may indicate a focus on hypertension screening for the working-age population with migraine.
