Exploring the Impact of Environmental and Climate Exposures and Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) on Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological disorder that affects millions of people around the world, but its causes are not fully understood. While genetics are known to play a role, there is growing evidence that social factors, environmental conditions, and climate stresses may also contribute to the prevalence of MS. This study aims to explore these connections by analyzing data from Duke University patients living in North Carolina. We will identify associations between social determinants of health (SDoH), environmental factors, and climate variables with the prevalence of MS. This research will provide, for the first time, a detailed picture of how these factors might influence MS in this region, offering insights that could lead to better interventions and outcomes for patients.
