Smokers are much more likely to develop multiple sclerosis and faster acquire a disability because of this disease. To such conclusion scientists have come.
British researchers found that smokers are more likely to develop multiple sclerosis, and if they have been there the disease, it progresses faster, causing disability. Magicforum reminds us that multiple sclerosis is a severe autoimmune disease that causes thinning of the myelin sheath of nerves. As a result, impaired conduction of nerve signals through the body, so that the person gradually loses control over the body. However, multiple sclerosis is divided into 4 types, depending on how fast he develops, whether accompanied by remissions and how long they last. In General, almost every patient with multiple sclerosis, the disease runs in any particular scenario.
After analyzing a large amount of data in these scenarios, the researchers found that Smoking is a risk factor for developing multiple sclerosis, a cause of more rapid flow. Although science still does not know the exact cause of this neurological disease, at the disposal of scientists there are more proven risk factors. And now it is established that this list includes Smoking. The refusal of bad habits can slow the onset of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis for almost 8 years, as shown by another study.
Not so long ago, scientists conducted a survey which showed that 89% of smokers of patients with multiple sclerosis don’t know about the connection between Smoking and this disease, despite what the doctors advised them to quit Smoking as soon as possible. To kill cigarettes is never too late, and even if the symptoms of multiple sclerosis is already there, then quitters can expect to maintain some mobility and independence as long as possible, compared with those who continue to smoke.
