Summary: “The influence of migration on disease risk has long been an important consideration in multiple sclerosis (MS) epidemiological research. Taking advantage of recent methodological advances, including access to population-based administrative health data, a new study highlights the importance of country of origin and duration of residence in the host country in determining MS risk.”
