Modifiable Lifestyle Factors: Other medical conditions

Australian experts have teamed up with MS Research Australia to build an evidence-based lifestyle guide to help people living with the chronic neurological condition multiple sclerosis (MS) improve their disease outcomes by making changes to daily habits.

In this series we take a closer look at nine lifestyle areas and how they may impact those living with MS.

On this episode, Associate Professor Ingrid van der Mei discusses how people with MS are more likely to have other medical conditions and ways to possibly prevent this from occurring.

‘Adapting Your Lifestyle: A Guide for People with MS’ is available on our website here: https://msra.org.au/modifiable-lifestyle-guide-2020/for-people-with-ms/
