Baseline engagement with healthy lifestyles and their associations with health outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis enrolled in an online multimodal lifestyle course.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Healthy lifestyle behaviour modification may improve health outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), but empirical evidence is needed to confirm prior study findings. We developed an online multimodal lifestyle intervention (Multiple Sclerosis Online Course) to examine the impact of lifestyle modification on health outcomes in pwMS via a randomized control trial (RCT). However, the present study specifically analyses baseline data to assess engagement with healthy lifestyles by RCT participants and cross-sectional associations with health outcomes.

Methods

Baseline engagement with six "healthy lifestyle behaviours" of the intervention course (high-quality, plant-based diet; ≥5000 IU/day vitamin D; omega-3 supplementation; ≥30 min physical act
