Abstract

Data was analyzed from the nationally representative Canadian Community Health Survey. A total of 17,549 adolescents reported whether they had "migraine headaches" (response rate 99.9%) and in what exercise activities they participated. Those with migraine reported more daily activity than migraine-free peers when corrected for age and sex. They were as likely to play contact sports but were more involved in other noncompetitive activities, such as walking (P < 0.001), gardening and yard work (P = 0.008), jogging and running (P = 0.002), and fishing (P = 0.03). Canadian adolescents with migraine are therefore overall more active than their peers without migraine.
