- Environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis. Part I: The role of infection (2007, background): “5 in most populations, with a trend toward greater values in the most recent studies.(4) In high-risk populations, the lifetime risk for MS is about 1 in 200 for women and somewhat less for men.”
- Multiple sclerosis – a review (2018, background): “Since then, the sex ratio has steadily been increasing and it is now close to 3:1 (F:M) in most developed countries [19].”
- Environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis. Part II: Noninfectious factors (2007, background): “Furthermore, differences in smoking habits across populations could explain some of the variation in MS incidence, particularly variation in the sex ratio, such as the increase in the female/male sex ratio in Canada over the past 50 years.(83)”
