A study estimates that nervous system pathologies, like dementia, stroke or migraine, are now the leading cause of ill health in the world, ahead of even cardiovascular conditions
We estimate that 3.4 billion people experienced some form of neurological health loss in 2021, which is a staggering number. This is largely due to certain conditions that are widespread. For example, tension-type headaches affected about 2 billion people in 2021.
Seems like they goosed their numbers here for a headline. Tension headaches aren’t well understood, but they’re generally not neurological.
