MS on the rise in Japan and South Africa
Japanese and South African neurologists report rising multiple sclerosis cases in their regions, challenging the view that MS is mainly a white, cold-climate disease. In South Africa white incidence averages six per 100 000, with no confirmed cases among blacks. in Japan cases rose from three per year to nine in 1968 and peaked at 32 in 1970 before declining. The researchers call for further study of diet, environment, and potential genetic factors.
