Elderly individuals with dementia experienced headaches, primarily tension-type. Cognitive impairment correlated with headache prevalence, suggesting dementia patients may report fewer headaches, though research in this area is challenging.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Geriatrics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Headaches are common in the elderly population.
  • Dementia is a growing concern in aging populations worldwide.
  • The relationship between headaches and cognitive decline in dementia is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and types of headaches in elderly subjects with varying degrees of dementia.
  • To explore the correlation between cognitive disturbances and headache prevalence in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted on 288 elderly subjects with diagnosed dementia.
  • Headache history and type were recorded for all participants.
  • Cognitive disturbances were evaluated using Hasegawa's intelligence scale.

Main Results:

  • 25.3% of elderly subjects reported experiencing headaches.
  • Tension-type headaches were the most prevalent, affecting 58.9% of those with headaches.
  • A significant negative correlation was observed between the degree of cognitive impairment and headache prevalence.

Conclusions:

  • Headaches, particularly tension-type, are present in a notable proportion of elderly individuals with dementia.
  • Increased cognitive impairment in dementia appears to be associated with a lower prevalence of reported headaches.
  • Further research is needed to clarify the complex relationship between headaches and dementia, acknowledging methodological challenges.
