People who grew up in sunnier climates less likely to develop MS

Daily Mail reported on a UBC study that found that higher exposure to sun between ages five and 15 reduced the risk of multiple sclerosis by 55 per cent.

“We found that where a person lives and the ages at which they are exposed to the sun’s UV-B rays may play important roles in reducing the risk of MS,” said study author Helen Tremlett, the UBC Canada Research Chair in Neuroepidemiology and Multiple Sclerosis.
