This research was done to determine if asthma and allergic rhinitis are potential risk factors for migraine in adolescents. The research found out that Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis are indeed common diseases that continue to affect people across the globe. Also, people with asthma are at a higher risk to migraine than those suffering from Allergic Rhinitis. Men with asthma are more affected by migraines as compared to those to those with Allergic Rhinitis whereas for women, those with Allergic Rhinitis are more affected than those with asthma. This is a proof that more men are affected by Migraine as compared to women since Asthma is perceived as a more risk factor for a Migraine as compared to Allergic Rhinitis. Many men are more exposed to risk factors associated with Asthma as compared to women. Age is also a risk factor for both Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis.
