Episode 348: From the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis Aging and MS Workshop (Part 1)

As people age, their immune systems change. Their level of physical and cognitive reserve changes. They often develop additional health issues. They frequently experience changes in their mobility. And these are people who aren't living with MS.

When you combine the health issues related to aging with the health issues that are related to MS, you end up with a sum that is exponentially larger than its parts. And when you consider that there are more people living with MS who are over the age of 65 than there are people living with MS under the age of 45, it's not surprising that the subject of aging with MS has become an area of increasing interest among researchers, clinicians, and people affected by MS.

That's why, last week, the International Advisory Committee for Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis invited a select group of 100 MS researchers and clinical specialists from around the world to participate in a three-day deep dive exploring aging and MS.

In Part 1 of our coverage, we're taking you inside this meeting, where you'll hear from some of the expert presenters who were in attendance.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
