Interaction of MS prevalence, radon gas concentration, and patient nutrition: a case–control study

Abstract In general, ecological findings indicate a positive correlation between MS and the intake of certain foods. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between radon (Rn) gas concentration and nutrition of patients in food groups with MS. Demographic information, diet, and building cha...
