Young patients with obesity face ‘50% increased risk’ of later MS
Evidence suggests a link between the global obesity epidemic and a dramatic rise in multiple sclerosis prevalence, researchers say
Obesity during the teens and early 20s is linked to a 50% increased relative risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) later in life, a population-based study shows.
Norwegian researchers say their finding emphasises the importance of weight control at an early age, especially in the context of the global obesity crisis.
