| Abstract |
Multiple sclerosis is a common neurological disease that results in disability in early adulthood that may progress through a relatively normal lifespan. Other comorbid health conditions can increase the likelihood of progression of MS and independently contribute to limitations in activities and social participation. We examine common modifiable health conditions and behaviors, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, alcohol, and smoking to determine their impacts on MS and disability. Appropriate identification and treatment can improve health status, diminish disability, and improve quality of life. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 July 2012.
All research outputs
#20,165,369
of 22,675,759 outputs
Outputs from Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
#839
of 913 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#147,924
of 164,338 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
#16
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,675,759 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 913 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 164,338 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
