Association Between Sun Exposure and Risk of Relapse in Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis
In this large cohort study of children with MS, greater early childhood and prenatal sun exposure time was associated with lower risk of relapse. Further investigation of sun exposure at other periods is needed to better characterize its impact on disease course and guide potential future interventions.
