摘要

本研究旨在了解台灣大專青少年頭痛之盛行率、不同性別之青少年頭痛盛行率與嚴重度之差異、並探討青少年頭痛與憂鬱之相關性。
1980位大學新生以自填問卷及流行病學研究中心憂鬱量表接受評估。
結果顯示青少年頭痛及嚴重頭痛近半年盛行率分別為45.2%及4.2%。女性之頭痛近半年盛行率(57.7%)顯著高於男性(36.7%)。不論男性或女性，有頭痛之新生其憂鬱症狀之嚴重度及憂鬱症之盛行率，均較無頭痛之新生為重、為高。
國內大專青少年之頭痛盛行率並不低，且尤其在女性族群更高。頭痛與憂鬱有明顯之相關性，值得衛生當局、學校、及青少年臨床工作者關心及注意。

Objectives: To examine the prevalence of headaches among college adolescents in Taiwan; to explore the differences in prevalence by sex; and to test the nature of the association between headaches and depression. We conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey in one university. A total of 1980 freshmen students completed the questionnaire study including the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The half-year prevalence of headaches and severe headaches were 45.2% and 4.2% respectively. It was significantly higher in girls (57.7%) than boys (36.7%). Significantly higher mean CES-D scores were found in subjects who had headaches than those who had not. Headaches are prevalent among college adolescents in Taiwan, especially in girls. The association existed between headaches and depression. It is suggested that an attention should be paid to the results of our study by the government health departments, school teachers, and clinicians involving in the care of adolescents.
