To estimate the lifetime migraine prevalence in school adolescents aged 13-15 in Taiwan, we conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey in four sampled public junior high schools. Migraine was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society. A total of 4064 students (1983 boys, 2081 girls) completed the questionnaire (response rate 91.6%). The lifetime prevalence of migraine was 6.8%. It was significantly higher in girls than boys (7.8% vs. 5.7%) and increased with age in both sexes. Students with migraine were more likely to be absent from school because of their headaches than those with non-migraine headaches (30% vs. 14%, odds ratio (OR) 2.7). They were also more likely to use painkillers for their headaches than their non-migraine headache peers (72% vs. 40%, OR 4.0). These results suggest that migraine is a common disorder of adolescents in Taiwan and its impact on the quality of life can not be ignored.
为了估算台湾13至15岁在校青少年偏头痛的终生患病率，我们在四所抽样公立初中开展了一项自填式问卷调查。偏头痛根据国际头痛协会的诊断标准进行诊断。共有4064名学生（1983名男生，2081名女生）完成了问卷（应答率91.6%）。偏头痛的终生患病率为6.8%。女生患病率显著高于男生（7.8%对5.7%），且在两性中均随年龄增长而升高。与无偏头痛性头痛的学生相比，偏头痛学生因头痛缺课的可能性更大（30%对14%，比值比（OR）2.7）。与无偏头痛性头痛的同龄人相比，他们因头痛使用止痛药的可能性也更大（72%对40%，OR 4.0）。这些结果表明，偏头痛是台湾青少年的常见疾病，其对生活质量的影响不容忽视。
