Abstract | Background: The relationship between being overweight during early life and disease course in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unresolved. We investigated the association between being overweight or obese during early life (childhood and adolescence) and MS case status, age of first symptom onset and onset type in people with MS (pwMS) of the same birth year. Methods: We enrolled 363 PwMS and 125 healthy controls (HC) from Project Y, a Dutch population-based cross-sectional cohort study including all PwMS born in 1966 and age and sex-matched HC. The associations between weight during childhood and adolescence (non-overweight vs. overweight or obese) and MS, age at symptom onset and onset type (relapsing vs. progressive) were assessed using logistic and linear regressions. In addition, sex-separated associations were explored. Results: Being overweight or obese during childhood (OR = 2.82, 95% CI 1.17-6.80) and adolescence (OR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.13-5.34) was associated with developing MS. Furthermore, being overweight or obese during adolescence was associated with a younger age of onset ( Conclusion: In a nationwide population-based birth year cohort, being overweight or obese during childhood or adolescence is associated with MS prevalence and an earlier age of onset, but does not seem to associate with the type of onset. |
