TTH: Tension-type headache; n: Numbers of participants, SD: Standard Deviation; AGA: Appropriate for gestational age (weight by percentile); VSGA: Very small for gestational age (< 3rd percentile); LGA: Large for gestational age (>90th percentile). Group mean or proportion is significantly different than no-headache control mean or proportion for the same sex at *p < 0.05 ** p < 0.01 *** p < 0.001 as determined by chi-square tests for categorical variables and independent t-tests for continuous variables.
