Association of Headache Disorders and the Risk of Dementia: Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this meta-analysis is to assess whether there is an association between headache disorders and all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VaD).

Methods

PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for cohort studies published from database inception to October 8, 2021, using medical subject headings (MeSH) and keywords. All statistical analyses were performed using Stata statistical software version 14.0. If P > 0.1 and I ² ≤ 50%, a fixed-effects model was adopted. If I ² > 50% (which indicated great heterogeneity), a random-effects model was adopted. The funnel plot and Egger's test were used to evaluate publication bias.
