15% of Adults Suffer Severe Headaches
Fifteen percent of adults experience migraine or other severe headache at least once every three months, according to the latest and most reliable survey of Americans' health. The Center for Disease Control says one in four U.S. adults suffer a day-long bout of pain at least once a month. Adults ages 18-44 were three times as likely as adults over 65 to report migraines or severe headaches. "We chose to focus on pain in this report because it is rarely discussed as a condition in and of itself," said lead study author Amy Bernstein. "Pain is mostly viewed as a byproduct of another condition." (www.cde.gov/nchs/pressroom/06facts/hus06.htm.) |
