在来自欧洲、爱尔兰、苏联、澳大利亚、加拿大和新西兰、北美和南美、埃及、土耳其和伊朗等旧英联邦国家居住在伦敦大区的移民中，1960至1972年间因可能的多发性硬化症(MS)入院的发病率为高或中等高。发病率与在英国出生的人的发病率顺序相同。来自印度、巴基斯坦和其他亚洲国家以及来自新英联邦非洲和美洲(包括西印度群岛)的移民多发性硬化症的住院发病率较低，来自父母出生在欧洲的多发性硬化症风险较低的国家的移民住院发病率较低，但并不是那些父母也出生在这些国家的移民的住院发病率很低。从世界低风险地区移民到英国似乎并没有增加患多发性硬化症的风险。
Among immigrants resident in greater London from Europe, Ireland, the USSR, the old Commonwealth countries of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, North and South America, Egypt, Turkey, and Iran the incidence of admission to hospital for probable multiple sclerosis (MS) between 1960 and 1972 was high or moderately high. The incidence was the same order as that found in those born in the United Kingdom. Immigrants from India, Pakistan, and other Asian countries and from new Commonwealth Africa and America, which includes the West Indies, had a low incidence of hospital admission for MS. Immigrants from countries where the risk of MS is low whose parents were born in Europe had a reduced incidence of admission to hospital but not the very low incidence found in those parents were also born in these countries. Emigrating to England from low risk parts of the world did not seem to increase the risk of developing MS.
