Migraine and increased cardiovascular disease risk: interaction with traditional risk factors and lifestyle factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Migraine has been linked to a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease, and acute treatment drugs, such as triptans, might increase this risk. This study aimed to determine whether the elevated cardiovascular risk is primarily attributable to the underlying migraine condition or the treatment modalities utilized. Additionally, we investigated the effects of managing traditional cardiovascular risk factors and the influence of healthy lifestyle scores on this association.

Methods

This population-based investigation leveraged data from the UK Biobank, encompassing participants recruited between 2006 and 2010, to examine the association between migraine and the long-term risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and its subtypes. Cox proportional hazard models
