Abstract
It is becoming increasingly clear that the relation between multiple sclerosis (MS) and latitude is a rather complicated one. The present study looks at the relation between climate in Canada and the distribution of places of birth of future MS patients as a means of elucidating this pattern. In addition, statistical clustering techniques were used to determine whether changes in MS occurrence were only temporary and local. The results showed an increase of MS births in areas with the larger average amounts of sunshine, which is opposite to that reported for most other areas of the world. A hypothesis is suggested which attempts to reconcile these apparently conflicting results.
