Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sardinia is a known high-risk area for multiple sclerosis (MS), but no data for south-western Sardinia (SWS) are available. SWS has a genetically homogeneous population, apart from St Peter Island, and represents a peculiar environment related to the industrial, mineralogical and military economy. OBJECTIVE: To estimate prevalence and incidence and to evaluate temporal trends and geographical...
