MS can start at any age, but in most cases the first onset of symptoms will happen between 20 and 40 years. On average, patients will begin to develop symptoms in their early 30s, and these symptoms consistently progress as they age. Women are more likely to develop the disease in their 30s, but the onset of symptoms are common in older men as well. Regardless of gender, the disease is unlikely to develop before the age of 15 or after the age of 60, but there are exceptions to every rule. If you are experiencing any symptoms similar to MS, consult your doctor immediately.
