Prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Lanzarote (Canary Islands)

J R Garcia et al. Neurology. 1989 Feb.

Abstract

In the island of Lanzarote of the Province of Las Palmas, which is part of the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands, the prevalence of multiple sclerosis is 15 per 100,000. The prevalence of MS in Lanzarote seems related more to ethnic conditions than to geography.
