Abstract

To decrease the incidence of the costly and disabling multiple sclerosis, prevention of the disease or its complications by modulation of its evidence-based etiological or risk factors is the best strategy. Hereby, some evidences on the contribution of several factors in the pathogenesis of MS have been critically reviewed and some practical hypotheses for future investigations to confirm the validity of these factors as the bases for prevention of MS have been suggested.
