Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Biancavilla, Sicily, amid claims that geography and ethnicity impact MS rates.
- Between 2012-2018, the annual incidence of MS rose significantly to 16.8 cases per 100,000, while the total prevalence by the end of 2018 was noted at 292.3 per 100,000.
- The findings suggest Biancavilla is a high-risk area for MS, potentially linked to factors like increased survival, better case identification, and possibly genetic or environmental influences, though no connection with mesothelioma was found.
