Dr Jennifer Graves shares clinical insights for managing older patients with multiple sclerosis.
Professor, Vice Chair, Department of Neurosciences, Division Chief of Neuroimmunology, University of California, San Diego
Thank you for the opportunity to join you all today to talk about what I think is one of the most critical topics facing people living withMy name is Dr Jennifer Graves. I'm professor and vice chair of neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and I have the opportunity to take care of people living with MS across the lifespan, from pediatric MS to those aging with MS.
Those living in between — in their twenties, thirties, and forties — with MS have an intermediate level of relapse rate, approximately once. They have some inflammatory disease, and beginning in their forties they become at risk for the progressive forms of MS. This field outside of the world of MS is called senotherapeutics, or therapeutics designed to target aging cells or senescent cells either by modulating their behavior or eliminating them if they are causing toxicity to the human body and worsening disease.
In summary, what I'd like you to understand about people aging with MS is that this is not a rare problem. Thanks to improvements in MS care and improvements in our overall healthcare system, over half of individuals living with MS will be aging with it, and it will take all specialists working together to improve outcomes for these people.
