Managing multiple sclerosis (MS) requires ongoing monitoring and interventions for physical, psychologic, and social well-being. Comprehensive care addresses comorbidities and accessibility challenges, aiming to improve quality of life for patients and families.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Geriatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive neurological disease impacting patients and families.
  • Aging MS patients face unique challenges, including comorbidities and accessibility issues in healthcare settings.
  • Limited research exists on the older MS population, highlighting a need for further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of periodic evaluations and interventions for MS patients.
  • To highlight the need for managing comorbidities common in aging MS patients.
  • To underscore the clinician's role in improving the quality of life for MS patients and their families.

Main Methods:

  • This abstract discusses clinical management strategies and patient care considerations.

  • It reviews common comorbidities and mortality causes in MS patients.
  • It addresses challenges in accessing healthcare for less mobile patients.

    • Main Results:

    • MS management requires a holistic approach addressing physical, psychologic, social, and vocational functioning.
    • MS patients are prone to age-related diseases like stroke, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
    • Mortality in MS is often linked to disease complications, malignancy, suicide, and myocardial infarction.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians play a vital role in helping MS patients and families adapt to the disease and enhance quality of life.
    • Accessible healthcare and proactive management of comorbidities are crucial for older MS patients.
    • Further research is needed to address the specific needs of the aging MS population.
