Age, Gender, Race

Certain factors such as age, gender and race can also increase a person’s likelihood of getting Multiple Sclerosis. For example, a person who is older is more likely to get the disease compared to a younger individual. Additionally, females are more prone to MS compared to males. Racially, individuals whose origins come from the Northern parts of Europe are more likely to develop the condition compared to those who have Asian, Native American, or African lineage.
