Characterizing Late-Onset Multiple Sclerosis
The study aimed to characterize patients with late-onset multiple sclerosis (MS) with symptom onset after 50 years, termed late-onset MS (LOMS). Through a cohort of approximately 9,000 MS patients in Sweden, it was found that 12% were LOMS. LOMS was associated with a more unfavorable disease course compared to adult-onset MS, showing faster disability progression and higher levels of disability at presentation.
