Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic multifactorial, inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system where genetic susceptibility interacts with environmental factors. Nutrition is one of the environmental factors that may be involved, and plays an essential role in the pathogenesis and evolution of the disease. However, most people with MS do not meet nutritional guidelines for a healthy diet, and usually self-experiment with diet without control of symptoms, medication interaction or adverse effects.
Particular diets or nutrients in the diet can influence the degree of the inflammatory response, suggesting that an appropriate nutritive intervention may improve the risk or prognosis of MS. However, at the present time, there is no strong evidence regarding the efficacy of dietary interventions as a complementary treatment of the disease.
The aim of this Special Issue is elucidate the role of nutrition status, health implications of the diet, nutritional treatment, and/or body composition in relation to MS risk, control, as well as clinical status.
