Women and Migraines
Do women really suffer migraines three times as often as men? This statement is endless circulated on the web and among mainstream media, but it is demonstrably false.
The origin of this myth is that women report migraines three times as often as men. But studies have repeatedly shown that men are less likely to report health problems of all sorts than are women.
So what is the accurate figure? So far as we know no reseacher has attempted to determine the answer to this question, but when they do we will let you know. Meanwhile, question the reliability of any reporter who says women suffer migraines three times more often than men. It's sensational, and totally false.
