There is little evidence on the role of diet in childhood/adolescence and multiple sclerosis (MS) in adulthood. The MS Sunshine Study recruited adults with recent-onset MS (n = 602) and matched controls (n = 653). Of these, 84% provided dietary recall for specific ages between childhood and young adulthood (6-10, 11-15 and 16-20 years). We used logistic regression to test associations between age-specific diet and case-control status. Consumption of fruit (all ages), yoghurt (all ages) and legumes (11-15 years) was associated with lower probability of adult-onset MS (all p < 0.05). These results suggest that healthy dietary habits between childhood and young adulthood may reduce MS risk.

儿童和青年时期饮食与成人多发性硬化症的探索性研究

几乎没有证据表明饮食在儿童期/青春期和成年期多发性硬化症 (MS) 中的作用。MS Sunshine 研究招募了近期发病的 MS 成人（n = 602）和匹配的对照（n = 653）。其中，84% 提供了针对儿童和青年时期（6-10、11-15 和 16-20 岁）之间特定年龄的饮食回忆。我们使用逻辑回归来测试特定年龄饮食和病例对照状态之间的关联。水果（所有年龄段）、酸奶（所有年龄段）和豆类（11-15 岁）的消费与成人发病 MS 的概率较低有关（所有 p < 0.05）。这些结果表明，儿童期和青年期之间的健康饮食习惯可能会降低 MS 风险。
