I'd have to do some digging to figure out the prominant Neuro in the US that confirmed this, but according to him, apparently 8% - 10% of the general population has MS and is never dx until autopsy. So you are correct!
I have heard of people dx in their mid-fifties, but that was the oldest living persons that I've personally read of.
