Why are men more likely to get lou gehrig's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not clear: Many neurological diseases affect men more often, such as parkinson's, men x3 women, but ms is the reverse, women x3 men. May have to do with genetic susceptibility, and some unknown environmental trigger.
