Relevance – Evidence suggests body fat is inversely associated with cognitive functioning. – This association might further be augmented in presence of immune-mediated, inflammatory disease such as MS.

Following tests performed : – Neurological examination for Expanded Disability Status Scale scores. – Brief International Cognitive Assessment in Multiple Sclerosis neuropsychological battery for measurement of cognitive processing speed, verbal learning and memory, and visual learning and memory. – Whole-body fat mass, percent body fat, lean body mass, and bone mineral density measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Lean body mass associated with cognitive processing speed and bone mineral density associated with cognitive processing speed and verbal learning and memory. −Associations attenuated and nonsignificant after controlling for age and Expanded Disability Status Scale scores.
