Headaches Cause More Harm in Women
In 2023, women lost healthy years to headache disorders at twice the rate of men around the world, and the disparity was even greater for migraines
The chart shows age-standardized rates of years lived with disability (YLDs) attributed to migraine and tension-type headache by sex in 2023.
YLDs quantify the health loss experienced while in a symptomatic state by multiplying one-year prevalence by proportion of time in symptomatic state and the associated disability weight.
