Obesity vs. MS
Obesity in adolescent girls may increase risk for multiple sclerosis later in life, a study shows.
Researchers examined data on more than 238,000 women who participated in the Nurses' Health Study, which began in 1976, and the Nurses' Health Study II, which began in 1989. Participants self-reported what their height and weight were at the start of the study and what they had been at age 18. They also chose silhouettes to describe their body shapes when they were ages 5, 10, and 20 years old. Participants were between 25 and 55 years old when the studies began.
