Diet quality and risk of multiple sclerosis in two cohorts of US women
Abstract
Objective: To determine the association between measures of overall diet quality (dietary indices/pattems) and risk of MS.
Methods: Over 185,000 women in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and Nurses’ Health Study II (NHSII) completed semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires every 4 years. There were 480 incident MS cases. Diet quality was assessed using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), Alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED) index, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) ...

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.

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 ...

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, ...
