I haven’t yet read the study but one thing I would assume should have great effects is:
Anything that causes long lasting ptsd like simptoms, where you are constantly afraid, or have triggers which make you afraid.
This exposes you to a lot of adrenaline and other who-knows-what hormones in a period where your brain is still in heavy development.
I have little idea about these things, apart from the fact that I had a traumatic childhood, and developed MS, which is a disease that also has some link with what happens to you before the age 15 (how far you live to the equator therefore in theory how D3 deficient you grow up before the age 15 is significantly correlated with the chance of developing the disease)
This is just a random thought I cannot back it with anything.
Scientists have a hard time figuring out the cause, maybe because the slow vague onset of the disease?
When I first had my symptoms which made diadnosis possible I already had a couple of demyelinated lesions. Did they show up the days before? Or years ago? Who knows.
You cannot do daily mri scans of a large enough population to catch even 1 patient at exactly the beginning of their disease, and even if you catch it, how can you gather useful information non-invasively?
Anyways, I try reading scientific papers, and avoid the overhyped “eat this to cure your MS” type articles.
They are so confident in everything, but of the 100 of real studies I’ve looked at, almost none of them had any surefire way to slow disease progression, some of the findings even contradict popular belief.
For example eating whole grains, drinking wine in moderation and drinking coffe may have a small positive effect, instead of cutting out all gluten.
Or it might just be a currelation in a way that wine drinkers have a higher socioeconomical status, which they tried correcting for, but they missed some unknown factor anyway?
Just try doing the regular healthy lifestyle; good food, some moderate excercise, no stress.. Because you can still get all the other lifestyle diseases ontop of MS as anyone else, and as we are more vulnerable we need to be more careful.
