Characterizing causal relationships of visceral fat and body shape on multiple sclerosis risk.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders - 1 Nov 2023

Misicka Elina, Gunzler Douglas, Albert Jeffrey, Briggs Farren B S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have established obesity as a risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS). These studies relied on body-mass index (BMI) and body size silhouettes as the primary measures of obesity. Unfortunately, the causal mechanisms through which obesity confers MS risk are not yet known. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the causal effects of multiple specific measures of body fat on MS risk in...
