Dietary intake of nutrients and its correlation with fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients
Abstract
Background: The role of nutrition in the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and related complications such as
fatigue has been reported by several studies. The aim of this study is the assessment of nutritional status and its
relationship with fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, in which 101 relapsing-remitting MS patients were enrolled. The fatigue
status was determined using the validated Persian version of of the Modified Fatigue ...

Dietary pattern and risk of multiple sclerosis
Abstract
Background: It has been suggested that nutrition might play a role in the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, dietary patterns associated with MS risk are unknown. This study was conducted to compare the dietary patterns of patients with MS and healthy controls to find the relationship between dietary patterns and MS.
Methods: Usual dietary intake of 75 women with relapsing/remitting MS (RRMS) and 75 healthy controls were
assessed with a food frequency questionnaire consisting of 168 food items. To define major dietary ...

The Role of Diet in Multiple Sclerosis: Mechanistic Connections and Current Evidence
Abstract
Purpose of Review This review seeks to examine current research related to the role of diet in multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent Findings Recent research in preclinical models, epidemiologic studies, and limited prospectively followed cohorts provide preliminary evidence that dietary factors influence MSincidence, disease course, and symptomatology. Current evidence for the effects of fatty acids, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and salt are reviewed. Dietary patterns including overall ...

Influence of Diet in Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT
Nutrition is considered to be a possible factor in the pathogenesis of the neurological disease multiple sclerosis (MS). Nutrition intervention studies suggest that diet may be considered as a complementary treatment to control the progression of the disease; a systematic review of the literature on the influence of diet on MS was therefore conducted. The literature search was conducted by using Medlars Online International Literature (MEDLINE) via PubMed and Scopus. Forty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria. The ...

Nutrition Facts in Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract
The question whether dietary habits and lifestyle have influence on the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) is still a matter of debate, and at present, MS therapy is not associated with any information on diet and lifestyle. Here we show that dietary factors and lifestyle may exacerbate or ameliorate MS symptoms by modulating the inflammatory status of the disease both in relapsing-remitting MS and in primary-progressive MS. This is achieved by controlling both the metabolic and inflammatory pathways in the human cell and the composition of ...

Nutritional Intervention as an Essential Part of Multiple Sclerosis Treatment?
Summary
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. In addition to the genetic, epigenetic and immunological components, various other factors, e.g. unhealthy dietary habits, play a role in the MS pathogenesis. Dietary intervention is a highly appealing approach, as it presents a simple and relatively low risk method to potentially improve outcomes in patients with brain disorders in order to achieve remission and improvement of clinical status, ...

Impact of Nutritional Intake on Function in People with Mild-to-Moderate Multiple Sclerosis
Background: We sought to assess the associations between nutrition and ambulation, daily activity, quality of life (QOL), and fatigue in individuals with mild-to-moderate disability with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: This cross-sectional pilot study included 20 ambulatory adult volunteers with MS (14 women and 6 men; mean ± SD age, 57.9 ± 10.2 years; mean ± SD Expanded Disability Status Scale score = 4.1 ± 1.8). Primary outcome variables included dietary assessment and the 6-Minute Walk ...

New Insights on the Nutrition Status and Antioxidant Capacity in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Abstract: Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a multifactorial disease with unknown etiology. It is assumed to result from interplay between genetic and environmental factors, including nutrition. We hypothesized that there are differences in nutritional parameters between MS patients and healthy controls. Methods: We examined 63 MS patients and 83 healthy controls. Nutritional status was determined by a dietary questionnaire, blood tests, quantification of cell membrane fatty acids, and serum ...
