Overview
Risk Factors
Common environmental risk factors in the development of multiple sclerosis are smoking[1], genetic, occupational exposures and toxins, physical environment and stress.[2]
smoking
various studies showed that smoking, beside cardiovascular diseases and cancer, can be a risk factor of multiple sclerosis.[1][3]
Genetic
Some studies demonstrate that MS has a strong genetic base. The first degree family of a MS patient is at 10-25 times greater risk than normal population, so genetically susceptible people are more likely to developed MS disease.
