在多发性硬化症(MS)流行病学这样一个活跃和快速发展的领域，试图在一篇如此长的论文中对最近的工作进行全面审查也是愚蠢的。因此，目的将是勾勒疾病分布模式的主要特征，并选择一个或两个更具争议性的领域进行更详细的处理。有关MS地理的全面目录，读者可参考Kurtzke(1975)最近的一篇论文。Kurland等人(1973年)和Lcibowitz&Alter(1973年)发表了对多发性硬化症流行病学的综述。流行病学技术主要通过两种方式用于多发性硬化症的研究。在美国林堡(1950)最初地理研究的刺激下，一系列关于该病的患病率、发病率和死亡率的测量逐渐描述了世界各地的多发性硬化的地形。人们希望这样的模式
In as active and rapidly advancing a field as the epidemiology of multiple sclerosis (MS), it would be foolish to attempt a comprehensive review even of recent work in a paper of this length. The aim will therefore be to sketch an outline of the main features of the pattern of distribution of the disease and to select one or two of the more controversial areas to be dealt with in greater detail. For a comprehensive catalogue of work on the geography of MS, readers are referred to a recent paper by Kurtzke (1975). General reviews of the epidemiology of MS have been published by Kurland et al.(1973) and by Lcibowitz & Alter (1973).Epidemiological techniques have been used in the study of MS in two main ways. Following the stimulus of the original geographical studies by Limburg (1950) in the USA a series of measurements of the prevalence, incidence and mortality of the disease are gradually describing the topography of MS throughout the world. It is hoped that the pattern thus
