摘要：

The prevalence of MS in New Zealand in 2006 was 73.2 (age standardized per 100,000) while for those with indigenous Maori ancestry it was 3.6 times lower at 20.6. Earlier regional surveys (1968-2001) all reported much lower, or zero, prevalence for Maori than European. There was no evidence for differences in MS between those with and without Maori ancestry in either clinical features or latitude, confirming that Maori ancestry does not produce the reported increase in prevalence with latitude. It is likely that prevalence is increasing in low risk Maori; however, MS prognosis is independent of Maori ancestry.
