Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of multiple sclerosis include: Vitamin D supplement, smoking cessation, and early exposure to infection.
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of multiple sclerosis include:
Vitamin D supplement
There is some evidence demonstrating that 1000 to 4000 IU vitamin D supplement daily can reduce the incidence of multiple sclerosis.[1][2][3]
Smoking cessation
Smoking cessation proved to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of MS disease.[4]
Early exposure to infections
EBV infection in childhood is not a severe disease, but in adults, it can presents as infectious mononucleosis. The similarity between the prevalence of infectious mononucleosis and MS point out that infection with this virus in childhood can reduce the risk of MS in comparison with adulthood infection.[5][6]
