Vascular Risk Score and Associations With Past, Current, or Future Migraine in Women: Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives-

Migraine has consistently been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. It remains, however, unclear to what extent cardiovascular risk profiles might be linked with migraine activity status, and how these profiles relate to the development of migraine.

Methods-

We used data from a cohort study of female health professionals (Women's Health Study, n=27,539, age ≥45 years at baseline) without a history of CVD or other major diseases and who provided a blood sample at baseline. Framingham risk scores (FRS) estimating the ten-year risk of coronary heart disease calculated at baseline were used to create vascular risk categories. The presence or development of self-reported migraine was assessed by questionnaires. Women
