Experts have uncovered the lifestyle factors that lead to the development of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a devastating neurological disease that has no cure and affects 2.8 million people worldwide.
For decades, primarily young adults carrying the MS gene were diagnosed with the condition. But recently, there has been an alarming rise in MS diagnoses in seemingly healthy adults in their midlife.
Hollywood’s Christina Applegate and Selma Blair learning to walk with canes in their 50s, or hearing journalist Tom King talk about his diagnosis at 62, are grim reminders of that reality.
