Logistic Regression Analysis On Risk Factors Of Tension-type Headache Of Feng-huo Type

Tension type headache is the most prevalent headache type,affecting most women and men at time in their lives and can impair job productivity and interfere with family and social time.However,despite its impact,tension type headache is the most misunderstood headache type.Because of misperceptions,less affected people are to seek medical treament.We want to find out useful method to prevent the occurence of tension type headache,then to raise the quality of human life.Object:To explore the risk factors of feng-huo type of tension-type headache,preliminarily find out part of its risk factors.All is done in order to provide favourable reference datas for its prevention and cure.Methods:60 patients with feng-huo type of tension-type headache compare with 60 patients with the following four types (feng-tan,feng-yu,yangxuhanning,qixuekuixu) of tension-type headache.The observation of the contents of this investigation as following :age,sex,occupation,education,obesity,gene,depression,anxiety,insomnia,smoking,drinking,physical exercise,environmental variables,A type behavior character and so on.In order to find out whether there are some relations to tension type headache,a logistic regression model is used.SPSS13.0 is applied for data analysis.Result:①Statistical results of age of onset:the distribution of age of onset in this study was for 18-60 years.There were male patients for 19-58 years old,while female patients for 18-60 years old.The average age of onset was (30.82±9.73) years with male cases (29.10±6.57) years old,while female cases were (31.53±10.60) years.There was no significant difference between the average age at onset of the male and female(.t'0.05= -1.50,P>0.05).There was no significant difference between cases and controls age at onset(t=0.28,P>0.05).Although there was only 25 percent of male samples,it did not mean that prevalence rate of male was lower than that of female,which had been reported from abroad;②the incidence of risk factors results:cases and controls by chi-square test revealed:there was a significant difference among anxiety,depression,the spring,A type behavior character,negative life- events (P<0.05),whlie there was no significant difference among gender, sports, edu ca tional level (P>0.05).Although There was no significant statistical significance,they may be the common risk factors for cases and controls.The P value of insomnia,gene,age,drinking,overweight,obesity was 0.05.No significant statistical signi- ficance was exsited.They were not the risk factors of tension-type head of feng-huo;③the various risk factors logistic regression analysis showed:A Type A behavior,spring entered the logistic regression equation finally which showed that the both were the risk factors of tension-type headache of feng-huo type with coefficient 1.925,which indicated that it was the most obvious risk factor.Anxiety and Depression of the OR was 2.514,P was 0.055,which was slightly larger than 0.05.Because the equation was to exclude the application of standard and the rate of patients with depression and other adverse mental state were 28 cases which was with 46.67 percent,this risk factors could still be a risk factor for the disease.If the size of sample was expanded,there may be significant differences;negative life events failed to enter the regression equation,suggesting that the factor was not the risk factor of tension-type headache;alcohol consumption,the loss of the exercise,sex,gene,insomnia,education,obesity and overweight were not the risk factors of tension-type headache feng-huo type.Conclusion:Tension-type headache was significantly related to a series of psychosocial variables.Although there was statistical significance between tension type headache and spring,it was still uncertain that spring was one risk factor.A type behavior character andnegative events occurred in life were related to the disease.Physical exercise could not be sure of having function.There was no obvious difference of prevalence between female and male.Education was to have no relationship with the disease.The current knowledge about headache and sleep was still sparse and further research was advocated.Heredity,overweight,obesity and other probable risk facors including age, drinking were not significantly related to tension-type headache.
