Migraine and T2D Incidence in Women

JAMA Neurol; 2019 Mar; Fagherazzi, et al

Publish date:: April 9, 2019

Women with active migraine had a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a decrease in active migraine prevalence prior to diabetes diagnosis, a new study found. Findings from the E3N cohort study evaluated the association between migraine and T2D incidence as well as the evolution of the prevalence of active migraine before and after T2D diagnosis. Women who completed the 2002 follow-up questionnaire were included. Researchers found:

From the 98,995 women in the study, 76,403 women completed the 2002 follow-up survey; 74,247 were included in the final cohort.
A lower risk of T2D was observed in women with active migraine.
There was a linear decrease of migraine prevalence long before and a plateau long after T2D diagnosis.
