Climate, diffused solar radiation and multiple sclerosis
Soc Sci Med.
1988.
Abstract
Environmental factors implicated as affecting world-wide distribution of multiple sclerosis are reviewed. It is suggested that climate may be involved in the etiology of this disease. Diffused solar radiation effects on multiple sclerosis hospital admission rates are demonstrated.
