Background: Immune dysregulation is central to multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis, yet prospective evidence linking peripheral low-grade inflammation (LGI) to MS risk remains limited and inconsistent. We investigated the association of LGI with incident MS risk and MS-related brain structural measures in a large prospective cohort. Methods: We analyzed data from 377,487 UK Biobank participants aged 40 to 69...
