However, there are limited studies on the long-term trends and influencing factors of migraine burden in China. Using data from global burden of disease database (GBD2021), this study explores the changes in the migraine burden in China over a 30-year period and analyzes the main drivers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Joinpoint regression analysis was used to evaluate the temporal trend of migraine prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs), and the age-period-cohort (APC) model was used to evaluate the effects of age, time and birth cohort.

The main driver of the rising burden of disease is population growth. APC analysis showed that the younger generation had a higher burden of disease, which may be related to modern lifestyles and stressors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The burden of migraine continues to increase in China, which is mainly affected by population growth and epidemiological changes.
