The Atlas of MS is live!

There are now 2.8 million people worldwide who have multiple sclerosis (MS), according to the most extensive global study to date.

The MS International Federation’s most accurate estimate yet shows that there are at least 1 in 3,000 people living with the disease.

The Atlas of MS reveals that the number of people living with MS has increased in every world region since 2013. Although better counting methods, more accurate diagnosis rates and population growth are just some of the factors behind the rise, an increased risk of developing MS cannot be ruled out.
