Key clinical point: Elevated blood lipid parameters in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) may harm cognitive functions.
Major finding: A negative correlation was observed between cholesterol and general cognitive functioning score after rehabilitation and the Expanded Disability Status Scale scores (Cronbach alpha, 0.60 and 0.65, respectively). Triglyceride scores also has a negative correlation with working memory scores before and after rehabilitation (Cronbach alpha, 0.36 and 0.40, respectively). Furthermore, body mass index scores had a negative correlation with the visuospatial ability (Cronbach alpha, 0.59)
Study details: The study included 90 inpatients with relapsing remitting, primary and secondary progressive MS who underwent intense neurorehabilitation training.
Disclosures: The study received no funding. The authors reported no conflicts of interest.
