Abstract

In this paper a model of life satisfaction measurement is formulated to\ncalculate happiness interdependencies. The model is applied to estimate\nthe spill-over effects of migraine headache on well-being. It is found\nthat women are more compassionate than men. The results also show that\nignoring happiness interdependencies of migraine headache underestimates\nthe effects of migraine headache on well-being.
