Early Detection: The Link Between Income, Education, and Mental Health in MS Patients

A study conducted in Sweden found that socioeconomic factors, including income, education levels, and marital status, are associated with the severity of multiple sclerosis (MS). Higher income and more years of education before MS diagnosis were linked to less severe disability and milder symptoms. Divorced individuals with relapsing MS tended to have more severe disability and worse physical and psychological symptoms compared to single patients. The study highlights the importance of considering socioeconomic factors in risk stratification and understanding potential risk factors for MS severity.
