Eating attitudes of migraine patients in Turkey: a prospective multi-center study. BMC Neurol 2024; 24:180. [PMID: 38811875 PMCID: PMC11134734 DOI: 10.1186/s12883-024-03672-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Migraine is a disease characterized by headache attacks. The disease is multifactorial in etiology and genetic and environmental factors play role in pathogenesis. Migraine can also be accompanied by psychiatric disorders like neurotism and obsessive compulsive disorder. Stress, hormonal changes and certain food intake can trigger attacks in migraine. Previous studies showed that eating attitudes and disorders are prevalant in patients with migraine. Eating disorders are psychiatric disorders related to abnormal eating habits. Both migraine and eating disorders are common in young women and personality profiles of these patient groups are also similar. A possible relationship which shows that migraine and eating habits are related can lead to a better understanding of disease pathogenesis and subsequently new therapeutic options on both entities. Association of migraine in relation to severity, depression and anxiety and eating habits and disorders were aimed to be investigated in this study. METHODS The study was designed as a prospective, multi-center, case control study. Twenty-one centers from Turkey was involved in the study. The gathered data was collected and evaluated at a single designated center. From a pool of 1200 migraine patients and 958 healthy control group, two groups as patient group and study group was created with PS matching method in relation to age, body-mass index, marital status and employment status. Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied to both study groups. The data gathered was compared between two groups. RESULTS EAT-26 scores and the requirement for referral to a psychiatrist due to symptoms related to eating disorder were both statistically significantly higher in patient group compared to control group (p = 0.034 and p = 0.0001 respectively). Patients with migraine had higher scores in both BDI and BAI compared to control group (p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0001 respectively). Severity of pain or frequency of attacks were not found to be related to eating attitudes (r:0.09, p = 0.055). CONCLUSIONS Migraine patients were found to have higher EAT-26, BDI and BAI scores along with a higher rate of referral to a psychiatrist due to symptoms. Results of the study showed that eating habits are altered in migraine patients with higher risk of eating disorders. Depression and anxiety are also found to be common amongst migraine patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Many patients with migraine report their attacks are triggered by various weather anomalies. Studies have shown mixed results regarding the association of migraine to weather changes. The purpose of the current review is to compile the most up-to-date research studies on how weather may affect migraine. In addition, we explore the association between weather and other inflammatory disease states as well as neurotransmitters. RECENT FINDINGS Migraine attacks can be related to weather variables such as barometric pressure, humidity, and wind. However, the results of recent studies are inconsistent; weathers' effect on migraine attacks is around 20%. However, very strong weather factors have a more significant effect on migraine attack variables. Many individuals identify weather as a migraine attack trigger, yet we see no causative relationship between weather and migraine patterns. The outcomes of studies indicate mixed results and reflect individual variation in how weather can impact migraine patterns. Similar relationships can be seen with other rheumatologic and pain conditions in general. Overall, the combination of weather plus other factors appears to be a more significant migraine trigger.

Abstract
In the context of climate change, extreme weather events and sudden shifts in weather patterns are becoming increasingly frequent. The atmosphere is considered a source of meteorological and climatic risks for human beings and living organisms. Numerous studies have examined the correlation between meteorological variables and human morbidity and mortality. However, only a few authors have investigated the impact of environmental changes on human health and, to our knowledge, there are no meteorological indices proposing a methodology for assessing changes in atmospheric conditions. Under the hypothesis that meteorological disruptions have an impact on human health, this article proposes a method to calculate a new index, the Meteorological Contrast Index (MCI), based on weather changes. This index takes into account three variables: i) categorization based on the type of atmospheric process, ii) changes in these categories over a specific time period, and iii) the level of stress associated with these changes, considering the severity of the transition from one category to another. If the predictive value of this index is proven for a specific meteorological variable and disease, it could be valuable in defining biometeorological early warning systems for the prevention and management of healthcare resources.•The Meteorological Contrast Index is the first index that proposes a method to assess changes in atmospheric conditions.•Atmospheric changes are a significant source of biometeorological distress, which can be quantitatively defined using the Meteorological Contrast Index.•Certain diseases are sensitive to the weather, and their incidence may increase under specific sequences of weather types.
