Objective  To investigate the incidence trend of migraine in Chinese from 1990 to 2019 in the global burden of disease database (GBD2019) and its effect on three factors: age, period and cohort. Methods  Data came from GBD2019. Joinpoint software was used to analyze the changing trend of migraine incidence. We analyzed the age-period-cohort (APC) model of migraine in the Chinese population combined with Stata 17.0 software and estimated the age, period, and cohort effects of migraine incidence. Results  From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence of migraine in the general population, men and women in China showed a fluctuating upward trend, and the average annual percentage change was 0.23%, 0.27% and 0.21%, respectively. The APC model showed that from 1990 to 2019, the risk of migraine in China decreased with the increase of age, showed a downward trend with the increase of the period, and increased with the increase of the birth cohort, indicating that the cohort effect played a dominant role in the risk of migraine in the current period, and the risk of women in the rear of the birth cohort began to be gradually higher than that of men. Conclusion  The incidence of migraine in Chinese population is on the rise from 1990 to 2019, and the younger the age, the earlier the period, and the lower the birth cohort, the greater the risk of migraine, suggesting that the prevention and treatment of migraine in women aged 10 to 54 years should be strengthened to further reduce the incidence of migraine in China.
