Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects men less frequently than women. Approximately one-third of people diagnosed with MS are men, which translates to about 100,000 to 150,000 men in the United States alone. Globally, the male-to-female ratio for MS is roughly 1:2 to 1:3, highlighting that while men do get the disease, it is much more common in women.
