How often, when and who suffers most of all from sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is the third frequent disease (exceeded only by twing disease and epilepsy) in neurology. In USA, this disease affects millions of people. The guile of multiple sclerosis is that the bulk of cases occur in the younger generation.
Moreover, in women sclerosis occurs twice more than in men. Before 15 and after 60 years the multiple sclerosis may begin in rather rare cases. People living in northern latitudes, where there is little solar energy, more prone to this suffering, as those who leave in equator. Representatives of the European races are sick more often than the black and Asian races. And also, there is a great role of hereditary factors – if one of the parents is sick, the risk of multiple sclerosis in the child significantly increases.
