New research suggests that weighing either too little or too much may increase a person's risk of migraines.
Migraines are a common type of headache disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) report that at least half of the world's adult population aged between 18 and 65 have experienced a headache in the past year. Of these people, at least 30 percent have had a migraine - a painful, recurring headache of moderate to severe intensity.
