Middle life years
More and more multiple sclerosis (MS) patients seen in clinical practice are middle-aged or older [1-4]. With age, vulnerability may increase, especially when other factors such as co-morbidities, obesity or smoking come into play [1,5,6]. Many patients with MS fall into one of these categories, but their special needs are often disregarded [7,8].
