MS in adults is more common than MS in other age groups. That is why much online information about managing MS is geared towards addressing multiple sclerosis in adults.

The age group in which MS is most prevalent is that of adults of reproductive age, namely those between the ages of twenty years and forty years. These MS patients are also predominantly women. Thus, much of the material on the subject of multiple sclerosis tends to focus on the concerns or needs of this demographic. This is only to be expected. After all, many of the online MS resources are the fruit of the efforts of people living with MS.
