Association between Mediterranean Diet and Development of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Although the meta-analysis showed a significant inverse association between higher adherence to the MedDiet and the odds of MS, the overall body of evidence does not provide strong support for a preventive role of the MedDiet. Considering the limited number of included studies, the predominantly retrospective design, the high risk of bias in several studies, and the substantial observed heterogeneity, further well-designed prospective studies are needed.
