    Multiple sclerosis patients reported more childhood moves than healthy individuals. This suggests environmental factors during childhood may influence multiple sclerosis risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Environmental Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with suspected environmental triggers.
    • Childhood residential mobility is a potential indicator of environmental exposures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between childhood changes in residence and the risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study design was employed.
    • The number of residential changes during childhood was compared between multiple sclerosis patients (cases) and controls.

    Main Results:

    • Cases with multiple sclerosis had significantly more residential changes in childhood compared to controls.
    • This finding indicates a potential link between residential mobility and MS development.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased childhood residential mobility may increase the opportunity for exposure to environmental agents implicated in multiple sclerosis.
    • Further research is warranted to identify specific environmental factors associated with residential mobility and MS.
