Default MS geography

Most of that site is way over my head. It talks about where people with MS live now, correct? Not where they were born or lived for any length of time.

In research I have done I found that the correllation between the northern hemisphere is significant in someone "getting" MS if they live in that area all their lives, or at least after puberty. If you were to move south before puberty, the chances of your having MS supposedly decrease.

Then there is the link between those of Northern European decent (Norwegian, Danish, German, etc.) who number higher than other nationality-heritage. Does this study explain the number of Asian, Black, Indian, etc., MS sufferers?

Despite the crummy little maps, and my general lack of understanding, it was very interesting. I'll have to go back and try to see if I can glean more from the website when I have some time.

Did I say when I have some time? That's like saying when I have the money...lol. I never have enough time.
