Overview
Risk Factors
Common environmental risk factors in the development of multiple sclerosis are smoking[1], genetic[2], occupational exposures and toxins, physical environment and stress.[3]
smoking
various studies showed that smoking, beside cardiovascular diseases and cancer, can be a risk factor of multiple sclerosis.[1][4]
Genetic
Some studies demonstrate that MS has a strong genetic base. The first degree family of a MS patient is at 10-25 times greater risk than normal population, so genetically susceptible people are more likely to developed MS disease.[5][2]
ethnic
MS prevalence is lower in African Americans, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese and Filipinos people rather than white men.
