a

Adjusted for the vascular risk factors (dichotomous) shown in the table plus age, alcohol use, exercise, hypertensive treatment, ever use of hormones, and premenopausal status.

b

Includes women who reported migraine without aura and those who did not report migraine in the year prior to baseline.

c

P value shows the contrast of each factor without adding migraine with aura vs adding migraine with aura.
