While [[migraines]] are diagnosed more often in women, cluster headaches are diagnosed more often in men. The male-to-female ratio in cluster headache ranges from 4:1 to 7:1. It primarily occurs between the ages of 20 to 50 years. This gap between the sexes has narrowed over the past few decades, and it is not clear whether cluster headaches are becoming more frequent in women, or whether they are merely being better diagnosed. Limited epidemiological studies have suggested prevalence rates of between 56 and 326 people per 100,000. Latitude plays a role in the occurrence of cluster headaches, which are more common as one moves away from the equator towards the poles. It is believed that greater changes in day length are responsible for the increase.
The prevalence of cluster headache is <1 percent and mostly affects men. The overall male to female ratio was 4.3:1. It primarily occurs between the ages of 20 to 50 years. Limited epidemiological studies have suggested prevalence rates of between 56 and 326 people per 100,000. A meta-analysis of 16 population-based epidemiologic studies showed that the lifetime prevalence of cluster headache for adults of all ages was 124 per 100,000 (95% CI 101-154), or approximately 0.1 percent and the one-year prevalence of cluster headache was 53 per 100,000 (95% CI 26-95).

Overview

The prevalence of cluster headache is <1 percent and mostly affects men. The overall male to female ratio was 4.3:1. It primarily occurs between the ages of 20 to 50 years. Limited epidemiological studies have suggested prevalence rates of between 56 and 326 people per 100,000. A meta-analysis of 16 population-based epidemiologic studies showed that the lifetime prevalence of cluster headache for adults of all ages was 124 per 100,000 (95% CI 101-154), or approximately 0.1 percent and the one-year prevalence of cluster headache was 53 per 100,000 (95% CI 26-95).
