NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A history of migraines can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in women, the Daily Mail reported.
The researchers say women with severe chronic headache are 30% less likely to develop a chronic illness than women with no history of migraines.
The team, led by the Gustav Rossi Institute, a cancer research center in Villejuïve, France, said the findings provide a better understanding of the underlying causes of the cases and could help doctors identify patients to screen for the risk of type 2 diabetes.
"Despite the high prevalence of the disease, especially among women, the link that exists between them is poorly known," say the study's authors.
The team examined 74,000 French French women suffering from migraine attacks and participated in a French study conducted by the Gustave Rossi Institute on the risk factors for cancer in women.
During the study, type 2 diabetes increased approximately eight times more than the number of women with no history of migraine compared to women with a history of migraine.
The researchers found that women with active migraine were 30% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
