Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: an Italian prevalence multicentric survey
This study confirms the presence of MCS symptoms in 5.7% of the population and highlights that a significant portion, with 10.73% being classified as "very suggestive" and 40.4% as "moderately suggestive" of the condition, may be vulnerable to chemical exposures. The results support the need for standardized diagnostic protocols and multidisciplinary approaches to management.
