NHANES 1999-2004: Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Severe Headache Risk in US Adults

6,017 adult records from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2004, used to explore the association between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and severe headaches or migraines. The dataset was analyzed by Shaoxiong Chen and published on figshare in 2026. It includes survey-weighted logistic regression results and subgroup analyses.

Use Cases

• Assessing the association between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and severe headaches or migraines based on survey-weighted logistic regression.
• Conducting subgroup analysis for risk factors like age, sex, diabetes, and coronary heart disease status.
• Modeling the dose-response relationship between AIP and headache risk using restricted cubic spline models.
• Evaluating feature importance for severe headaches or migraines using eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) modeling.

Strengths

• Includes 6,017 adult participants from a nationally representative survey (NHANES).
• Analysis includes 1,218 severe headache or migraine patients with detailed baseline characteristics.
• Employs multiple statistical methods: survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and XGBoost.

Limitations

• Row count for the underlying dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The analysis is cross-sectional, preventing causal inference as noted in the conclusion.
