The prevalence and demographic associations of headache in the adult population of Peru: a national cross-sectional population-based study

ConclusionThe Global Campaign ’s first population-based study in South America found headache disorders to be common in Peru, with prevalence estimates for both migraine and TTH substantially exceeding global estimates. H15 + was also common, but with fewer than one third of cases diagnosed as pMOH. The association between migraine and altitude was confirmed, and found to be strengthened at very high altitude. This association demands further study.
