One recent study published in the Nov. 2009 issue of Neurology suggests
that obesity during childhood and adolescence may increase the prevalence
of MS.
The study led by K. L. Munger and colleagues at Harvard School of Public
Health in Boston, Massachusetts examined the association between obesity
during childhood, adolescence and adulthood, and the risk of multiple
sclerosis.
Study subjects included 121,700 women in the Nurses' Health Study and
116,671 women in Nurses' Health Study II. The researchers analyzed data on
subject's body weight at age 18 and body mass index (BMI) at baseline and
confirmed 593 MS cases.
Obesity at age 18, defined as having BMI greater than 30 kg/m2, was found
associated with more than twofold increased risk of MS. While having a
large body size at ages 5 or 10 was not associated with the risk, a large
body size at age 20 was correlated with a 96 percent increased risk for
the disease.
Munger and colleagues concluded that "obese adolescents have an increased
risk of developing multiple sclerosis" and "this result suggests that
prevention of adolescent obesity may contribute to reduced MS risk."
