Smoking and increased risk of multiple sclerosis: parallel trends in the sex ratio reinforce the evidence
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Smoking behavior in industrialized nations has changed markedly over the second half of the 20th century, with diverging patterns in male and female smoking rates. We examined whether the female/male incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) changed concomitantly with smoking, as would be expected if smoking truly increased MS risk.
