Abstract
An annotated up‐to‐date bibliography has been prepared of 83 previously published epidemiological research investigations whose focus is on demographic and/or sociocultural factors and their possible etiological relationship to multiple sclerosis (MS). Each of the investigations has been edited and presented in such a way that the author's purpose for conducting the research is made explicit as are the main findings and conclusion. Included in the bibliography are medical and other relevant literature, international in scope, for the 20 year period inclusive of 1963 to 1983. Some topics addressed include: The impact of urbanization and industrialization on the prevalence of MS, and the relationship between such factors as place of birth, socioeconomic status and ethnic affiliation and susceptibility to MS.
