“…Obesity is most accurately estimated by direct demonstration of an increase in adipose tissue to fat‐free mass, such as with CT or MRI imaging 10,15,16 . However, direct measurements are not practical and are substantially more expensive than indirect measurements.…”

“…Thus, indirect estimates of general or TBO, based on the BMI, and of regional or abdominal obesity, based on WC measurements, are often used (see Table 2). Consequently, obesity is often “ de facto ” defined as excess in relative body weight, which includes skin, organs, and muscle mass, in addition to adipose tissue mass, rather than just excessive adipose tissue mass 15,16 …”

Adipose tissue is a dynamic neuroendocrine organ that is involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, and when excessive, results in obesity. Clinical and population-based data suggest that migraine and chronic daily headache are associated with obesity, as estimated by anthropometric indices. In addition, translational and basic science research shows multiple areas of overlap between migraine pathophysiology and the central and peripheral pathways regulating feeding. Specifically, neurotransmittors such as serotonin, peptides such as orexin, and adipocytokines such as adiponectin and leptin have been suggested to have roles in both feeding and migraine. In this article, we first review the definition and ascertainment of obesity. This is followed by a review of the clinical and population-based studies evaluating the associations between obesity and chronic daily headache and migraine. We then discuss the central and peripheral pathways involved in the regulation of feeding, where it overlaps with migraine pathophysiology, and where future research may be headed in light of these data.
