multiple sclerosis, risk factors, prevention, Epstein-Barr virus, smoking, vitamin D, obesityAbstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune-inflammatory disease that causes widespread neurodegeneration in central nervous system. The prevalence of MS is increasing worldwide, and the cause of the disease is still unclear. However, the role of a number of factors in developing MS has been studied. These include genetic factors, race and ethnicity, Epstein-Barr virus infection, geografic latitude, ultraviolet exposure, migration, low blood levels of vitamin D, female gender, diet, obesity, smoking, occupational exposure to toxic substances, stress, mycoplasma pneumonia infection, etc. The proposed literature review discusses studies on the study and prevention of risk factors for MS.
