passant dels 24 anys de mitjana als 34<\/strong>.<\/p>\nL’esclerosi m\u00faltiple \u00e9s una malaltia cr\u00f2nica autoimmune provocada per la p\u00e8rdua de mielina de les neurones. Aquest estudi s\u2019ha portat a terme a la Unitat d\u2019Esclerosi M\u00faltiple del Servei de Neurologia de l\u2019Hospital de Bellvitge, liderat pel Dr. Sergio Mart\u00ednez-Yelamos<\/strong>, investigador principal de l’IDIBELL, coordinador de la Unitat d’Esclerosi M\u00faltiple del HUB i professor la Universitat de Barcelona. S\u2019ha realitzat en col\u00b7laboraci\u00f3 amb el Servei de Medicina Preventiva del mateix hospital. El treball s’ha centrat en l’esclerosi m\u00faltiple remitent-recurrent<\/strong>, la forma cl\u00ednica m\u00e9s comuna de la malaltia. Aquesta es caracteritza per l’aparici\u00f3 de brots en els quals es manifesten els s\u00edmptomes neurol\u00f2gics, seguit d’episodis de remissi\u00f3 m\u00e9s o menys llargs en qu\u00e8 aquests s\u00edmptomes desapareixen parcialment o totalment. Els brots, amb el temps, poden arribar a deixar seq\u00fceles irreversibles. Els primers s\u00edmptomes solen apar\u00e8ixer entre els 20 i els 40 anys, tot i que aquesta malaltia es pot manifestar a qualsevol edat.<\/p>\n“Desconeixem els motius pels quals ha augmentat l’edat d’aparici\u00f3 dels primers s\u00edmptomes<\/em> -comenta la Dra. Luc\u00eda Romero-Pinel<\/strong>, primera autora del treball, neur\u00f2loga de la Unitat d’Esclerosi M\u00faltiple del HUB i investigadora IDIBELL-. Tot i aix\u00f2, hi ha diversos factors que creiem que podrien estar influint, com la disponibilitat de m\u00e8todes de diagn\u00f2stic m\u00e9s precisos, determinats canvis en l’estil de vida, o, una de les explicacions m\u00e9s plausibles, l’evoluci\u00f3 epidemiol\u00f2gica del virus d’Epstein-Barr<\/em>“.<\/p>\nLa infecci\u00f3 per aquest virus, comunament conegut com a virus de la mononucleosi, \u00e9s un factor de risc ambiental per desenvolupar esclerosi m\u00faltiple. Estudis recents mostren que la infecci\u00f3 pel virus d\u2019Epstein-Barr<\/strong> cada cop t\u00e9 lloc en edats m\u00e9s tardanes, segurament degut a la millora de les condicions socioecon\u00f2miques, el que en conseq\u00fc\u00e8ncia podria estar retardant l\u2019aparici\u00f3 de l\u2019esclerosi m\u00faltiple.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
