The relationship between dietary zinc intake and migraine was explored by researchers in a cross-sectional study using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2004). Of those included in the study (N = 11,088), approximately 20% reported having migraine disease. The adjusted odds ratios for migraine in Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5, compared with the lowest dietary zinc intake quintile, were 0.73, 0.71, 0.71, and 0.70, respectively. The researchers concluded that, based on their findings, there is an inverse connection between dietary intake and migraine in US adults.
