Dr. E. Ann Yeh from the Division of Neurology at SickKids, and 2022 Catalyst Grant recipient, provides an update on her\u00a0pediatric neuroinflammatory disorders study:<\/h1>\n

“Our group has shown that higher levels of physical activity associate with lower levels of depression, fatigue and disease activity in youth with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, youth with MS and other neuroinflammatory disorders are inactive. Understanding barriers and facilitators of physical activity behaviour at the individuals and societal level is the first step to developing interventional strategies to increase this modifiable behaviour.”<\/em><\/p>\n

More than 97,000 Canadians have multiple sclerosis (MS) and the country is among those with the highest number of cases in the world.<\/p>\n

Unlike other neurological conditions, MS tends to develop in younger adults and is commonly diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 49 and can be seen in children as young as 10 years old. It also tends to affect women more than men.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn inflammatory process, which is caused by a number of different factors, attacks the brain and it is thought to be, in some ways, the body attacking itself, one\u2019s own immune system attacking oneself and creating discrete areas of inflammation in the brain, in the optic nerve and in the spinal cord,\u201d explains Dr. Ann Yeh, clinician-scientist with SickKids Hospital.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption> <\/p>\n
