Teenage obesity linked to increased risk of MS
Date:11/9/2009

pecially during teenage years, may be an important step in reducing the risk of MS later in life for women."

Munger said there are two possible explanations why obesity may affect MS risk. Higher levels of vitamin D in the body are thought to reduce disease risk. People who are obese tend to have lower vitamin D levels compared to people who are not obese. In addition, fatty tissue produces substances that affect the immune system and certain types of cell activities that are thought to be associated with MS.
