MS typically affects which demographic group?

Older men Young women Children under 5 Elderly women

Correct Answer:

Young women

Explanation:

MS is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that most often begins in young adulthood, with a clear female predominance. The typical onset is in the 20s to 40s, and women are affected roughly two to three times more often than men. This makes young women the most commonly affected demographic. Earlier childhood MS exists but is unusual, and MS in older adults is less common, which is why those groups aren’t the typical pattern.
