Abstract

Objectives: To determine whether body size in different age periods is associated with an increased risk of MS in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This study included 307 MS patients and 307 healthy controls from clinics and hospital wards in three cities (Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam) in Saudi Arabia (2016-2017). We used Stunkard’s standard body silhouettes to determine the participants’ body sizes (from 1 to 9) during different age periods (school levels). We calculated adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and performed multivariable analysis adjusted for age and gender. Results: Large body sizes (silhouettes 6–9) and body size 5 during intermediate school were associated with an increased risk of MS (AOR: 3.75, 95% CI: 1.10–12.78 and AOR: 3.75, 95% CI: 1.41–10, respectively). The smallest body size (1) during intermediate school was associated with a lower risk of MS (AOR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17–0.90) compared to body size 3. Conclusion: Overweight and obesity during the intermediate school period (ages 13–15 years) are associated with an increased risk of MS, particularly among females.

沙特阿拉伯不同年龄段肥胖与多发性硬化症的关系:一项多中心病例对照研究

目的:确定沙特阿拉伯不同年龄阶段的体型是否与MS风险增加有关。方法:本研究纳入2016-2017年沙特阿拉伯利雅得、吉达和达曼三个城市诊所和医院病房的307例MS患者和307例健康对照。我们使用Stunkard的标准身体轮廓来确定参与者在不同年龄阶段(学校水平)的身体尺寸(从1到9)。我们计算了校正优势比(AORs)和95%置信区间(CIs)，并进行了年龄和性别校正后的多变量分析。结果:中等学校时期体型大(轮廓6-9)和体型5与MS风险增加相关(AOR: 3.75, 95% CI: 1.10-12.78; AOR: 3.75, 95% CI: 1.41-10)。与体型3相比，中学时期体型最小(1)的儿童患多发性硬化症的风险较低(AOR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17-0.90)。结论:中学阶段(13-15岁)超重和肥胖与MS风险增加有关，尤其是女性。
