Abstract
BACKGROUND: Some studies have shown a higher occurrence of unfavorable lipid profile in women with migraine as compared to the general population. AIM: The aim of our study was to assess the link between lipid profile and the frequency of migraine attacks. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 64 female migraine patients, mean age 40 ± 10.84 years and mean duration of the disease 18.52 ± 7.57 years, were included into the study. Lipid profile (total cholesterol, TC; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C; triglycerides, TG) was evaluated in all migraine patients. Frequency of migraine attacks was calculated from the amount of migraine episodes within the last 3 months. RESULTS: The correlation between TC and TG and the frequency of the migraine attacks were statistically significant. CONCLUSION: TC and TG values may have an influence on migraine severity and also contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially in women.
