多发性硬化症（MS）是非常罕见的亚洲人在印度subcontainers，亚洲人和非洲人居住在新英联邦国家的非洲和西印度群岛。这在那些从这些国家移民到英国的人中也很少见。相比之下，在可用于研究的年龄组中，在英国出生的亚洲、非洲和西印度群岛移民的儿童的MS患病率较高，与英格兰一般人群中发生的MS患病率相似。
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is very uncommon among ethnic Asians in the Indian subcontainents, among Asians and Africans resident in the New Commonwealth countries of Africa and in the West Indies. It is also very uncommon among those who have migrated to England from those countries. In contrast, the children born in the United Kingdom of Asian, African and West Indian immigrants have, in the age groups available for study, a high prevalence of MS of a similar order to that occurring in the general population of England.
