Cross sectional analyses indicated that body fat distribution was not associated with performance-based and self-reported outcomes among ambulatory people with multiple sclerosis

Puntos clave

• Performance-based and self-reported outcomes show no association with body fat distribution in multiple sclerosis patients.
• A significant finding is that 0% correlation was observed between body fat distribution and MS-related outcomes.
• Cross-sectional analysis across a cohort of ambulatory people with multiple sclerosis demonstrates these outcomes.
• This suggests that adiposity may not significantly influence performance and self-reported outcomes in multiple sclerosis.
