Migraine is Bidirectionally Associated With Asthma

Key clinical point: Migraine and asthma have a reciprocal association with each other.

Major finding: Patients with asthma had a 47% higher risk for migraine (P less than .001) than control participants, and patients with migraine had a 37% higher risk for asthma (P less than .001).

Study details: The data were obtained from 2 Korean longitudinal follow-up studies (Study 1: 113,059 patients with asthma and 113,059 control participants; Study 2: 36,044 patients with migraine and 114,176 control participants).

Disclosures: This study was partly supported by a grant from the National Research Foundation of Korea. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
