Relationship Between Body Composition and Physical Function in Women with Multiple Sclerosis

DESCRIPTION

This study examines the relationship between body composition and physical function in women with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared to controls. Results show correlations between relative fat mass, leg lean mass to body mass ratio, and performance on functional tests. The findings have implications for understanding the impact of body composition on physical function in individuals with MS.
