The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of migraine headache among depressed Latino adolescents of Mexican American origin. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study of the prevalence of migraine among depressed adolescents of any ethnic/racial background. In a mental health clinic for the indigent, 132 consecutive Latino adolescents fulfilling the DSM-IV criteria for major depressive episode were compared with a sample of adolescents with other mental disorders. Logistic regression was used to test for associations and control for confounding effects. The prevalence of migraine headache among depressed adolescents was 6 times greater than that of the comparison patients (OR = 5.98, z = 2.35, p = 0.019). This finding is consistent with previously published reports involving adult samples, in which the prevalence of migraine was found to exceed that in the general population. However, contrary to what we previously found in Latino adults, the prevalence of migraine was not higher in bipolar than in unipolar adolescents.
这项横断面研究的目的是确定具有墨西哥裔美国血统的抑郁拉丁裔青少年偏头痛头痛的患病率。据我们所知，这是第一项针对任何族裔/种族背景的抑郁青少年偏头痛患病率的研究。在为贫困者提供的心理健康诊所中，对 132 名连续符合 DSM-IV 重性抑郁发作标准的拉丁裔青少年与其他精神障碍患者的样本进行了比较。使用逻辑回归检验关联并控制混杂效应。抑郁青少年偏头痛头痛的患病率是对照组的 6 倍（OR=5.98，z=2.35，p=0.019）。这一发现与先前涉及成年样本的报告一致，其中偏头痛的患病率高于普通人群。然而，与我们之前在拉丁裔成年人中发现的情况相反，双相情感障碍青少年的偏头痛患病率并不高于单相情感障碍青少年。
