What's the age group of been diagnosed with ms is it more and young people or older people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple ages: MS can affect young people, but it can also wait until middle age to become apparent. Peak onset is 20-30 years, but can occur as last as the 60s (rarely). More women than men are affected.
