Researchers say there is a connection between obesity and MS

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Obese teenage girls may run a higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

A study of 238,000 women found those who were obese at 18 had twice the risk of developing MS compared to thinner women.

Weight during childhood or adulthood didn't seem to be linked to the same risk.
