Abstract
Objective: Migraine is a chronic neurological condition affected by multiple factors. There is increasing evidence that healthy diets may be related to migraine management. The present study investigated the association between adherence to the adjusted relative Mediterranean diet (arMED) and the Mediterranean–DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet and the risk of chronic migraine (CM) in Iranian women.
Methods: In this study, 285 women with migraine participated. The women were categorized into the CM and episodic migraine (EM) based on their attack frequency per month. Adherence to the Mediterranean and MIND diets was assessed based on last year’s dietary intakes collected using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI) for CM across the arMED and MIND scores tertiles was assessed through logistic regression.
Results: About 40.7% of the studied sufferers experienced CM. Women with CM had significantly higher fat (p 0.004) and lower fiber (p 0.03) intakes than women with EM. There was a significant negative association between CM and the arMED score ((OR (95% CI)crude: 0.91 (0.82–0.99); p value: 0.047)) and (OR (95% CI)adjusted: 0.88 (0.80–0.98); p value: 0.018)) and MIND score ((OR (95% CI)crude: 0.90 (0.85–0.97); p value: 0.007)) and ((OR (95% CI)adjusted: 0.91 (0.85–0.98); p value: 0.03)).
Conclusion: Women who adhered more closely to the Mediterranean and MIND diets had lower chances of experiencing CM.
