| Description |
Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common causes of neurologic and visual disability among young and middleaged adults. The disorder affects over 1 million people worldwide, but is particularly common in the United States, where approximately 300,000 persons are affected. Seventy-three percent of persons with MS in the United States are women. Those most commonly affected by MS are between the ages of 35 and 64 years (76%), although changes on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may precede the onset of clinical symptoms. |
