Impact of fish consumption on disability progression in multiple sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence indicates that diet, including fish consumption, may play a role in the development and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to investigate the influence of fish consumption on disability progression in MS.

Methods

Incident cases from the population-based case-control study Epidemiological Investigation of MS (n=2719), with data on fish intake and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) outcomes, were categorised by fish consumption and followed up to 15 years post-diagnosis through the Swedish MS registry. A digital follow-up questionnaire in 2021 assessed changes in fish intake over time (n=1719). Cox regression models, adjusted for clinical and demographic variables, were used to evaluate 24-week confirmed disability worsening (CDW
