Multiple sclerosis (MS) does show variations in prevalence among different ethnic groups. It is most commonly diagnosed in individuals of Northern European descent, with lower rates observed in populations from Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Indigenous peoples of the Americas. However, the reasons for these disparities are not fully understood and may involve genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Overall, while MS can affect anyone, its incidence and severity may differ among various ethnicities.
