Explanation: A) The risk factors for MS are related to age, gender, ethnicity, geography related to latitude, and genetics. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50. MS is at least 2-3 times more common in women than in men; suggesting that hormones may play a role in susceptibility to MS. MS occurs in most ethic groups but is more common in Caucasians of northern European descent. MS is more common in areas farther from the equator.
