Several dietary habits and lifestyles can be associated with different headache types or with their progression to chronic forms. Different population-based studies have tried to investigate this relationship with poor or contradictory results. We shortly reported the current knowledges available in literature in this regard, paying particular attention to the role that certain factors play in modifying frequency and intensity of headache in adults and in adolescents. Future studies are necessary to clarify the real weight which the different factors have in natural history and in clinic evolution of headache, especially in adolescence, but the already known data suggest an important modulating action. If they will be confirmed, these results will be likely to influence clinical practice as well to address educational programs in preadolescents and adolescents.
一些饮食习惯和生活方式可能与不同类型的头痛或其向慢性形式的发展有关。不同的基于人群的研究试图调查这种关系，但结果不佳或相互矛盾。我们简要报告了目前在这方面文献中提供的知识，特别注意某些因素在成年人和青少年头痛的频率和强度变化中所起的作用。未来的研究有必要阐明不同因素在头痛的自然史和临床演变中的真正作用，特别是在青少年中，但已知的数据表明其具有重要的调节作用。如果这些结果得到证实，它们不仅可能影响临床实践，还可能影响青少年前和青少年时期的教育计划。
