The objectives of this systematic review were to examine age dependency of headache prevalence in school age children and to assess secular trends of headache prevalence in the last decade, gender and regional differences. A literature search was performed in MEDLINE to identify all prevalence studies in children and adolescents. Five hundred seventy studies were found, of which 37 studies could be included for this review. Headache prevalence in school children increases with their age as demonstrated in cohorts of identical children and cross-sectional surveys covering different age groups of children in one population. Regarding a potential general increase in the prevalence of headache in children and adolescents in the last decade, there are four studies which all show some increase of headache prevalence; however, the degree of increase is varying. Prevalence of headache in girls appears to be higher than in boys. There were no clear regional differences in the prevalence of headache.
本系统评价的目的是研究学龄儿童头痛患病率的年龄依赖性，并评估过去十年中头痛患病率的长期趋势、性别和地区差异。在MEDLINE中进行文献检索，以确定所有关于儿童和青少年患病率的研究。共找到570项研究，其中37项研究可纳入本评价。在同一批儿童队列以及涵盖同一人群中不同年龄组儿童的横断面调查中均表明，学龄儿童的头痛患病率随年龄增长而增加。关于过去十年中儿童和青少年头痛患病率可能普遍上升的情况，有四项研究均显示头痛患病率有所上升；然而，上升程度各不相同。女孩的头痛患病率似乎高于男孩。头痛患病率在地区上没有明显差异。
