Migraine relaxed criteria defined answering yes to 2 or more out of 5 questions on migraine. Migr.: Migraine, MO: Migraine no aura, MA: Migraine and aura.

CRP, migraine status, age and gender in the Reykjavik Study and the Reykjavik Study for the Young using linear regression adjusting for case-control status, age, BMI, cholesterol, smoking, education, hormone use, diabetes mellitus, SBP and antihypertensive use. Each age category was analysed separately and subject with CRP values≥10 mg/l were excluded. Profile used in multivariable adjusted model was: control with average values for continuous variables, non-smoker, high school education, SBP between 130 and 160 mmHg, without: diabetes, hormone use and antihypertensive therapy. Women without birth control use.
