Multiple sclerosis increases NfL-derived age in humans (OR = 1.44; 95% CI 1.10-1.87; p = 0.007).
“PwMS showed a higher likelihood than controls of having a NfL-derived age above their chronological age (OR = 1.44;95%CI 1.10-1.87; p = 0.007).”

Disability is associated with NfL-derived age in humans.
“MS is associated with a shift in age-associated NfL trajectory, with an older biological profile especially in pwMS with greater disability and progressive course.”
