Do socioeconomic factors play a role in multiple sclerosis (MS)?

Interestingly, the richest countries, with the highest standards of sanitation, have the highest incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS). The poorest countries, with lower standards of hygiene, have the lowest percentage of MS cases. Two large and carefully conducted American studies, along with another from England, have shown that MS has a predilection for the socially privileged.

The evidence suggests that people in less sanitary communities may develop some sort of immunity to MS early in life. Although other studies from Ireland, Israel, the Canadian city of Winnipeg, and the Orkney Islands off northern Scotland do not support these findings, MS has maintained its reputation as a disease of the middle and upper classes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
