SYNOPSIS Migraine symptoms were assessed in a sample of about 2300 school children between 10 and 17 years of age in Amsterdam. Prevalence of migraine symptoms was very similar to that reported by Waters using the same questionnaire. Headache intensity gave a reliable indication of the presence of other migraine symptoms. This finding was crossvalidated in several subsamples and confirmed the severity hypothesis of Waters for a young population.
