This study aims to report the prevalence of obesity and overlapping comorbidities in a rural population of children and adolescents with migraine. A cross-sectional, descriptive, secondary data analysis using a comprehensive patient database from the West Virginia University (WVU) Medicine Epic Clarity system will be reported. A review of electronic medical records of 990 children and adolescents, ages 7 to 17 years, evaluated for headache at a rural clinic from December 1, 2009 to December 31, 2017 was completed. The Chi-square test was used to identify any differences in demographic characteristics (age, gender, and race) and distribution of comorbidities (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [OSAS], depression, and anxiety) among obese versus nonobese adolescents with migraine. Student's -test was used to identify any differences in the number of comorbidities between the two groups. A total of 648 children and adolescents with a diagnosis of migraine were identified. Approximately 26.4% of the children and adolescents diagnosed with migraine ( = 648) met the criteria for being obese with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 30.6 kg/m (standard deviation [SD] = 6.5), ranging from 20.0 to 58.5 kg/m . There were no significant differences between migraineurs who were categorized as obese versus nonobese in terms of gender ( = 0.8587), age ( = 0.1703), race ( = 0.7655), anxiety ( = 0.1841), or depression ( = 0.2793). Obese individuals have more comorbidities than nonobese individuals ( = 0.015). Additionally, the prevalence of OSAS was significantly higher among obese versus nonobese migraineurs (20 vs. 9.9%, = 0.0007). Given the prevalence of obesity in rural pediatric populations and the reported neurobiological links between migraine and obesity, BMI needs to be monitored and weight management interventions included in plans of care for rural children and adolescents with migraine.
本研究旨在报告患有偏头痛的农村儿童和青少年群体中肥胖症及合并症的患病率。将报告一项横断面、描述性的二次数据分析,该分析使用了来自西弗吉尼亚大学(WVU)医学Epic Clarity系统的综合患者数据库。完成了对990名7至17岁儿童和青少年电子病历的回顾,这些儿童和青少年于2009年12月1日至2017年12月31日期间在一家农村诊所接受了头痛评估。卡方检验用于确定肥胖与非肥胖偏头痛青少年在人口统计学特征(年龄、性别和种族)以及合并症(阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征[OSAS]、抑郁症和焦虑症)分布上的差异。采用学生t检验来确定两组之间合并症数量的差异。共识别出648名诊断为偏头痛的儿童和青少年。在诊断为偏头痛的儿童和青少年(n = 648)中,约26.4%符合肥胖标准,平均体重指数(BMI)为30.6 kg/m²(标准差[SD] = 6.5),范围为20.0至58.5 kg/m²。在性别(p = 0.8587)、年龄(p = 0.1703)、种族(p = 0.7655)、焦虑症(p = 0.1841)或抑郁症(p = 0.2793)方面,被归类为肥胖与非肥胖的偏头痛患者之间无显著差异。肥胖个体比非肥胖个体有更多的合并症(p = 0.015)。此外,肥胖偏头痛患者中OSAS的患病率显著高于非肥胖偏头痛患者(20%对9.9%,p = 0.0007)。鉴于农村儿童人群中肥胖症的患病率以及偏头痛与肥胖之间已报道的神经生物学联系,需要对农村偏头痛儿童和青少年的体重指数进行监测,并将体重管理干预措施纳入护理计划。
