Figure. Association between weight class and pediatric multiple sclerosis/clinically isolated syndrome by sex.

Figure

Depicted are the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of pediatric multiple sclerosis and clinically isolated syndrome (MS/CIS) with increasing weight class compared with normal/underweight children (reference category) stratified by sex. Increasing weight class was associated with increasingly higher OR for MS/CIS among girls (p for trend <0.005) but not boys (p for trend 0.93). OR are adjusted for age at onset and race/ethnicity.
