Prevalence and factors associated with primary headache disorders among Emirati population in Dubai, United Arab Emirates: A cross‐sectional study

One-year prevalence of primary HDs was 39.1% in adult Emiratis residing in Dubai. Individuals who were females, divorced/separated, widow/widower, held a high academic degree, or who were self-employed were more likely to develop primary HDs, whereas age did not appear to influence primary HDs. Further, age and type of consultation were significantly associated with disability caused by primary HDs.

Abstract

One-year prevalence of primary HDs was 39.1% in adult Emiratis residing in Dubai.
