Obesity is one possible contributor to severity of multiple sclerosis and progression of the disease. We already know that obesity is a risk determinant for acquiring MS, yet the impact of obesity on pediatric MS disease expression and course is unknown. This study will evaluate the relationship between obesity, obesity-derived inflammatory mediators, and imaging metrics of MS severity in children. Understanding how childhood obesity contributes to MS severity/progression may yield fundamental insights into disease pathobiology - which may thereby lead to effective strategies for halting its progression in its earliest stages.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pediatric MS Subjects | Subjects with pediatric MS will undergo fasting lab work, non-contrasted MRI, DEXA scan, and surveys. | ||
| Healthy controls | Non-MS pediatric control subjects who will undergo fasting lab work, DEXA scan, and surveys for comparison to control group. |
Not provided
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Whole brain volumes and focal demyelinating lesion volumes | 58 patients with a recent MS diagnosis, stratified by weight category (29 normal weight and 29 overweight/obese). Subjects will undergo MRI to quantify total brain and lesion volume. Z-scores for volumetrics will be determined using age- and sex-matched normative data from the NIH-sponsored ABCD dataset. We will compare mean Z-scores of whole brain volume and focal demyelinating lesion volumes between the two groups. | 3 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Adipo-cytokine profiles | Fasting adipo-cytokines from MS cohort will be compared to age-, sex-, and BMI-matched controls. | 3 years |
| Adipo-cytokines correlation with brain volume loss and neuroaxonal injury |

We will measure serum NfL in MS subjects and controls. We will determine if leptin (a pro-inflammatory adipo-cytokine) predicts degree of brain volume loss and/or neuroaxonal injury in subjects with MS. This exploratory, mechanistic aim has potential to provide the first link between obesity-derived inflammation and neuronal cell injury/loss.
