Vitamin D and Multiple Sclerosis

Low Levels Of Vitamin D Associated With MS.

WebMD (5/23, Warner) reported that, according to a study published May 24 in Neurology, "77% of African-Americans with" multiple sclerosis "were vitamin D deficient compared with 71% of African-Americans without the disease." The investigators reached these conclusions after studying levels of vitamin D in 342 African-Americans without MS and 339 African-Americans with MS. The study authors theorized that "much of the difference in vitamin D levels may be explained by variations in climate and geography, but the findings add further evidence to the growing link between vitamin D and multiple sclerosis risk."
