Late-onset MS Patients Face Poor Prognosis
Late-onset MS patients, whose symptoms appear after the age of 50, were found to be associated with several risk factors linked to a poorer prognosis. A significant portion of these patients exhibited primary progressive MS. The diagnosis for late-onset MS patients experienced delays compared to those with adult-onset MS. Additionally, late-onset MS patients showed higher disability levels at onset and had a faster progression of disabilities post-onset, despite potential treatments.
