Systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates increased risk of multiple sclerosis in vitamin D deficient individuals, highlighting vitamin sufficiency as a modifiable preventive factor.

Key Points

  • To assess and update the evidence regarding the association between vitamin D deficiency and the likelihood of developing multiple sclerosis.
  • Conducted an updated systematic literature review and meta-analysis synthesizing observational studies on circulating vitamin D status and multiple sclerosis.
  • Vitamin D deficiency associates significantly with an elevated likelihood of multiple sclerosis.
  • Sufficient vitamin D levels represent an important modifiable target to reduce the risk of disease onset.
