Initial type and frequency of migraine influences women's stroke risk.(Brief Article)
2002 DEC 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The risk of ischemic stroke is significantly increased in women whose first ever migraines were accompanied by aura, according to a new study.
The authors based their findings on further analysis of 300 women aged 20-44, who had taken part in a larger World Health Organization Collaborative Study of Cardiovascular Disease and Steroid Hormone Contraception. Between 1990 and 1993, they compared 86 women admitted to the hospital with a first-time ischemic stroke with 214 women admitted to hospital for other illness.
Compared with the other women, the risk of ischemic stroke increased by a factor of 8 in those whose first-ever migraines were accompanied by aura, and by a factor of 10 in those whose first migraines with aura occurred more than once a month, noted the article in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Stroke risk was four times higher in those whose migraine attacks had gone on for more than 12 years.
