Sommario/riassunto

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common neurological disorders and causes of disability in young adults. Although some people with MS experience little disability during their lifetime, up to 60% are no longer fully ambulatory 20 years after onset, with major implications for their quality of life and the financial cost to society. This new publication from the World Health Organization and the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) presents evidence on



the global epidemiology of multiple sclerosis and the resources to diagnose, treat, rehabilitate, support and provide se
