Abstract: Headache in community-living adults aged more than 65 years old is the 10th most common reported symptom in women and the 14th most common in men. Although the prevalence of headache declines with age, approximately 10% of women and 5% of men, 70 years old aged, experience severe recurrent or constant headaches. Much less is known about the evolving clinical profile of migraine over life span.
