- W2146805380 abstract "Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease with an as yet not fully understood etiological background. The geographical distribution of MS is striking with a prevalence that increases with latitude. For this reason, vitamin D deficiency is considered a possible pathogenic co-factor in MS. Materials and methods To study the role of the vitamin D metabolism in MS, blood samples were taken twice (summer and winter) from 103 patients with MS and 110 healthy controls. Serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH) 2 D) were measured, and detailed information on disease characteristics and environmental factors that might influence the vitamin D metabolite levels was collected. Results Mean serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH) 2 D concentrations were significantly higher in summer compared to winter in both patients and controls. Using logistic regression methods, we found that in women for every 10 nmol/L increase of serum 25(OH)D level the odds of MS was reduced by 19% (odds ratio 0.81; 95% confidence interval: 0.69–0.95), suggesting a “protective” effect of higher 25(OH)D serum levels. In addition, also restricted to women, a negative correlation was found between Expanded Disability Status Scale and 25(OH)D levels ( r = −0.29, P = 0.020). Conclusions Our data suggest that higher circulating levels of 25(OH)D are associated with a lower incidence of MS and MS-related disability in women. This may imply clues to the pathogenesis of the sex difference in risk and to the nature of the environmental factors involved in MS." @default.
