Key clinical point: Increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is associated with decreased gray matter and cortical atrophy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) after adjusting for baseline serum neurofilaments (sNfL).

Major finding: Gray matter volume and cortical volume had significant associations with percent change in HDL-C (P = .0024 and P less than .001, respectively) after adjusting for sNfL as a predictor.

Study details: This prospective longitudinal study assessed patients with relapsing-remitting MS (n = 75) and progressive multiple sclerosis (n = 37) over a 5-year follow-up period.

Disclosures: The study was funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences of the National Institutes of Health. B Weinstock-Guttman, J Kuhle, R Zivadinov and M Ramanathan reported ties with multiple pharmaceutical companies. The remaining authors declared no conflicts of interest.
