This study investigated if moving homes before age 20 increases multiple sclerosis (MS) risk. Researchers found no significant association between the number of residential changes and developing MS.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
  • Environmental factors are investigated for their role in MS etiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between residential mobility in childhood and adolescence and the risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective case-control study design was employed.
  • Data were collected through interviews with 41 patients diagnosed with MS and 82 healthy controls.
  • The Mantel-Haenszel method was used to estimate the odds ratio.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant association was observed between the number of residential changes before the age of 20 years and the risk of multiple sclerosis.

  • The odds ratio indicated no increased or decreased likelihood of MS based on childhood residential mobility.

    • Conclusions:

    • Childhood and adolescent residential changes do not appear to be a significant risk factor for multiple sclerosis.
    • Further research may explore other environmental or genetic factors in MS development.
