Overview
Common risk factors in the development of multiple sclerosis are smoking[1], genetic[2], ethnic[3], infection[4], low vitamine D[5] and stress.[6]
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of multiple sclerosis are:
- Smoking
Various studies show that smoking, beside cardiovascular diseases and cancer, can be a risk factor of multiple sclerosis.[1][7]
- Genetic
Studies demonstrate that MS has a strong genetic base. The first degree family of a MS patient is at a 10-25 times greater risk than normal population, so genetically susceptible people are more likely to develop MS disease.[8][2]
- Sex
Prevalence of MS disease is higher in female. This can be hormone related or more susceptibility to environmental risk factors.[9][10]
- Vitamin D
Low vitamin D level seems to be a risk factor for developing MS since the prevalence of MS is lower in regions where people take vitamin D supplement or have higher sunlight exposure.[5][11]
- stress
Stressful life events can be a risk factor for MS disease. In patients who already have MS, stress and anxiety can lead to exacerbation of their disease.[12]
Less Common Risk Factors
- Ethnic
MS prevalence is lower in African Americans, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese and Filipinos people rather than white men.[3]
- Epstein-Barr virus
Patients affected with Epstein-Barr virus seems to be more susceptible to developing MS. Studies shows that high titer of EBV antibodies is a risk factor for MS disease.[4][13]
