The reported prevalences of malnutrition were 15.5 % and 12.2 %, 13.4 %, 11.8 %, 10.4 %, 10.3 %, 1.6 %, 1.6 %, and 0.7 %. Several risk factors for malnutrition were reported including disability burden, age, and progressive subtype; however, bubble plots showed no associations for baseline age, sex distribution, MS duration, body mass index, or disability status. One study observed that malnutrition was associated with lower physical and mental quality of life.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The available evidence suggests that malnutrition may be common among people with MS; however, given the wide variation in reported prevalences more studies are needed to better evaluate the scope of malnutrition in MS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10352,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nutrition ESPEN","volume":"69 ","pages":"Pages 802-808"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
