Abstract Background Nutrition was claimed to be a factor in MS causation, course, complications, and management. Several studies were conducted to assess the nutritional status of MS patients; however, few studies were conducted to assess this problem in Egypt. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to assess the nutritional status of a sample of MS patients. Methods The researchers conducted an exploratory cross-sectional study among 76 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients attending Kasr Alainy Multiple Sclerosis Unit (KAMSU) from October 2018 to January 2019 to assess the nutritional status of a sample of MS patients. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire including an inquiry about the socioeconomic status, and nutritional status using anthropometric measurements, patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires (SQFFQ), and hemoglobin level measurement. Assessment of fatigue was done using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale 5-items version. Results The mean age of the study participants was 30 ± 6 years. The disease duration ranged from 2 to 264 months. Malnutrition was prevalent among 67.1% (27.6 % overweight, 36.8% obese, and 2.6% underweight). Half of the investigated patients were anemic. According to the PG-SGA, more than half of the studied patients (53.9%) were classified as moderately or suspected malnourished. The unhealthy dietary habits such as taking only a few meals, junk food intake and skipping breakfast were observed in considerable proportions of the group. The SQFFQ revealed overconsumption of energy and fat, and less than acceptable consumption of dietary fibers by most of the studied patients. Conclusions Overweight, obesity, anemia, and unhealthy dietary habits were prevalent among the RRMS patients attending the KAMSU. Nutrition care service is extremely needed for this group of patients.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a multifactorial disease with unknown etiology. It is assumed to result from interplay between genetic and environmental factors, including nutrition. We hypothesized that there are differences in nutritional parameters between MS patients and healthy controls. Methods: We examined 63 MS patients and 83 healthy controls. Nutritional status was determined by a dietary questionnaire, blood tests, quantification of cell membrane fatty acids, and serum antioxidant capacity. Results: We found that MS patients consumed a more limited diet compared with the healthy group, indicated by a lower average of 31 nutrients and by consumption levels of zinc and thiamine below the recommended daily intake. Both consumption and measured iron values were significantly lower in MS patients, with the lowest measures in the severe MS group. Long saturated fatty acids (>C16) were significantly lower in MS patients, while palmitic and palmitoleic acids were both higher. Serum total antioxidant capacity was significantly lower in the MS group compared with healthy controls, with the lowest measures in patients with severe MS. Conclusions: This study points to a possible correlation between nutritional status and MS. Understanding the clinical meaning of these findings will potentially allow for the development of future personalized dietary interventions as part of MS treatment.

Objetivo: Revisar la literatura científica existente sobre los efectos del estado nutricional en la esclerosis múltiple.Método: Revisión sistemática de la literatura científica recogida en las bases de datos MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, Cochrane Library y Web of Science, hasta noviembre de 2016. Ecuación de búsqueda: (“Multiple Sclerosis”[Mesh] OR “Multiple Sclerosis”[Title/Abstract] OR “Disseminated Sclerosis”[Title/Abstract] OR “Multiple Sclerosis Acute Fulminating”[Title/Abstract]) AND (“Nutritional Status”[Mesh] OR “Nutritional Status”[Title/Abstract] OR “Nutrition Status”[Title/Abstract]. La calidad de los artículos se evaluó mediante el cuestionario STROBE. Se completó la búsqueda con la consulta a expertos y la revisión de la bibliografía de los artículos seleccionados.Resultado:   De las 160 referencias recuperadas, tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron para la revisión 29 artículos. La gran mayoría de los estudios determinaron los niveles de vitamina D. Otros centraron su búsqueda en averiguar qué déficits de nutrientes podrían estar relacionados con el desarrollo de la Esclerosis Múltiple.Conclusiones: La vitamina D puede influir en la mejora de la Esclerosis Múltiple. La luz solar y la actividad física serían factores importantes, junto al estado nutricional, en el curso de dicha enfermedad. Sería necesaria la generación de nuevos trabajos específicos que profundizaran en el tema para averiguar más acerca de la relación existente entre el estado nutricional y la Esclerosis Múltiple.
