I had noticed the same thing -- the older I got, the less the frequency, and also the milder the migraine (if it makes any sense at all to use the words "mild" and "migraine" in the same sentence). However, for some reason, for the last two years or so, the number and intensity has slowly started to increase again (and I'm in my 50s). I'm sure it has something to do with stress which, for me, increased dramatically two years ago and hasn't let up yet.
