AB Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological, chronic, inflammatory, and progressive diseasewith musculoskeletal problems and neurodegenerative disorders that causes worsening of thehealth status of patients. The aim of this study was to determine the level of depression in MSpatients compared to a population of healthy subjects. The established sample size was 116 subjectsmatched with the same age, sex, and body mass index. The subjects were recruited from differentmultiple sclerosis associations and neurology clinics in different public health areas (case group n =58) and healthy subjects from the same locality (control group n = 58). The scores and categories ofthe Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in its Spanish version were collected. There was a clearstatistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in the BDI scores between both groups. As a result, wefound that the subjects with MS presented worse results with BDI = 9.52 ± 7.70 points compared tothe healthy subjects with a BDI score = 5.03 ± 5.14. Within the BDI categories, there were statisticallysignificant differences (p < 0.001), which were greater for the MS group. Depression is a dangerousfactor for MS patients, being a trigger for a poorer quality of life.
