Abstract
Objective: This study was formulated with the objective of elucidating the correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and the occurrence of severe headache or migraine, employing a cross-sectional analytical approach.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted over two cycles involving 7,661 participants, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2001 and 2004. A weighted logistic regression method was employed to construct a relationship model between the two variables. Subgroup analysis, adjusting for confounding factors, was performed through stratified analysis to explore the association between 25(OH)D and severe headaches or migraines. Finally, a restricted cubic spline regression (RCS) was utilized to investigate the non-linear relationship between the variables.
Results: A total of 7,661 participants were included in this study, with an overall prevalence of severe headaches or migraines of 1,576/7,661 (22.3%). The results from all models consistently indicated a significant negative correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and the risk of severe headaches or migraines (P < 0.05). Stratified analysis revealed that in the female population (odds ratios [OR]: 0.995, 95% CI: 0.991-0.998, P = 0.001), never smokers (OR: 0.991, 95% CI: 0.985-0.997, P = 0.003), and non-drinkers (OR: 0.993, 95% CI: 0.987-0.999, P = 0.022), the risk of severe headaches or migraines decreased with increasing serum 25(OH)D concentrations. RCS results demonstrated a linear relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels and the risk of severe headaches or migraines.
Conclusion: We discovered a negative correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and the prevalence of severe headaches or migraines, particularly in females, non-smokers, and non-hypertensive individuals. Further clinical research is necessary to confirm these findings, establish causality, and explore potential preventive and therapeutic mechanisms for migraines.
期刊介绍:
Food & Nutrition Research is a peer-reviewed journal that presents the latest scientific research in various fields focusing on human nutrition. The journal publishes both quantitative and qualitative research papers.
Through an Open Access publishing model, Food & Nutrition Research opens an important forum for researchers from academic and private arenas to exchange the latest results from research on human nutrition in a broad sense, both original papers and reviews, including:
* Associations and effects of foods and nutrients on health
* Dietary patterns and health
* Molecular nutrition
* Health claims on foods
* Nutrition and cognitive functions
* Nutritional effects of food composition and processing
* Nutrition in developing countries
* Animal and in vitro models with clear relevance for human nutrition
* Nutrition and the Environment
* Food and Nutrition Education
* Nutrition and Economics
Research papers on food chemistry (focus on chemical composition and analysis of foods) are generally not considered eligible, unless the results have a clear impact on human nutrition.
The journal focuses on the different aspects of nutrition for people involved in nutrition research such as Dentists, Dieticians, Medical doctors, Nutritionists, Teachers, Journalists and Manufacturers in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
