The characteristics and subtypes of headache in relation to age and gender in a rural community in Eastern Turkey

Öz:

Amaç: Baş ağrısı tüm yaş gruplarında sık görülen yaygın bir halk sağlığı problemi olmakla birlikte, yaşa, cinsiyete ve toplum özelliklerine göre farklılık göstermektedir. Bu hastane bazlı çalışmada, Türkiyenin kırsal bir bölümünde baş ağrısının özellikleri ve alt tipleri cinsiyete ve yaşa göre incelendi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Toplam 11549 hasta değerlendirildi ve 4951 hastada (%42.8) baş ağrısı saptandı. Bir yıllık baş ağrısı prevalansı çocuklarda %38.6, erişkinlerde %47.0 ve yaşlı nüfusta ise %23.3 olarak izlendi (p<0.001). Bulgular: Erişkinlerde ve ileri yaşlı hastalarda kadın erkek oranı yüksek olarak saptandı (p<0.001), çocuklarda ise kadın erkek oranı arasında farklılık izlenmedi (p=0.654). Tüm yaş gruplarında en sık tanı sık epizodik gerilimi tipi baş ağrısı olarak izlendi. Epileptik nöbetlere ve rinosinüzite bağlı baş ağrıları çocuk yaş grubunda üç kat daha sık olarak görülürken, kronik gerilim tipi başağrısı erişkinlerde ve ileri yaş grubunda üç kat daha sık olarak saptandı. Çocuk yaş grubunda migren hastalarının %60ı erkek iken, erişkin migren hastalarının %80i kadın idi. Sonuç: Baş ağrısının ve alt tiplerinin epidemiyolojisinin bilinmesi, tüm yaş gruplarında yüksek bir prevalansa sahip olması ve büyük bir halk sağlığı sorunu oluşturması nedeniyle önemlidir.

Objectives: Headache is a frequent and widespread symptom constituting a major health problem for all age groups, though vast differences are present according to age and gender, as well as population characteristics. In this hospital-based study, we investigated the characteristics and subtypes of headache in relation to age and gender in a rural community in the eastern part of Turkey. Methods: A total of 11549 subjects were evaluated, and 4951 patients (42.8%) reported headaches. The 1-year headache prevalence was 38.6% in children, 47.0% in adults, and 23.3% in the elderly (p<0.001). The female to male ratio was higher in adults (p<0.001) and elderly headache patients (p<0.001), but not in children (p=0.654). Results: The most common diagnosis was frequent episodic tension-type headache in all age groups. Headaches attributed to epileptic seizure and rhinosinusitis were about three times more common in children, while chronic tension-type headache was about three times more common in adults and the elderly. While 60% of patients with migraine were male among the group of children, about 80% of patients were females among the adults. Conclusion: The understanding of the epidemiology of headache and subtypes is important as it constitutes a major health problem due to its high prevalence in all age groups.
