Figures & data
Figure 1. Age distribution at the time of inclusion of the studied women (n = 106) and men (n = 44) with migraine.
Table I. Demographic profiles of women and men with migraine. Statistical comparisons were based on Mann–Whitney test and chi-square analysis.
Table II. Clinical migraine characteristics and concomitant illnesses in women and men. Statistical comparisons were based on Mann–Whitney test and chi-square analysis.
Table III. Personality trait scores in women and men with migraine. Mean scores for the Swedish universities Scales of Personality inventory (SSP), compared to normative data (mean = 50; SD = 10), separated by gender. Statistical comparisons were based on one-sample t-test.
Table IV. Life events categories with a strongly negative impact in women and men with migraine. Statistical comparisons were based on chi-square analysis.
Figure 2. Life events in women and men with migraine: the y-axis shows the average numbers of life event categories reported, separated by ‘any’ negative event and events with a ‘strongly negative’ influence, as well as by gender and period in life in which they occurred. The Mann–Whitney test was used for statistical analysis of gender differences in average numbers.
Table V. Correlations between stress susceptibility scores in women and men with migraine and A: scores for life events; B: scores for current stress. Correlations were analyzed using Spearman's rho coefficient.
