Dr. Lee Peterlin, head of the research team from Johns Hopkins University in America, says: “People with migraines and their doctors should know that excess weight and excessive weight loss are not good for migraine sufferers and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce Migraine headaches will occur.”
He further adds: “Healthy lifestyle in terms of weight control, diet and exercise are very useful for migraine sufferers.” Migraines are usually accompanied by throbbing in the head, nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
In this study, the research team examined 12 previous studies that included about 300,000 people. Researchers found that obese people have 27% more migraines than normal weight people. Also, people with less than normal weight were 13% more likely to suffer from migraines.
In a previous study, Peterlin’s team found the connection between obesity and migraine in women, especially women under 55 years old. This new study reaffirms previous findings.
In a new study, researchers found that the relationship between obesity and migraines is similar to the relationship between migraines and ischemic heart disease.
Peterlin states that the reason for the effect of body composition on the risk of migraine is still unknown, but our reasoning is that adipose tissue is like an endocrine organ, and like other endocrine organs such as the thyroid, its excess, too little or too much, causes It becomes difficult.
