JAMA Network

About The Study: In this study of working-age adults with multiple sclerosis (MS), premorbid income, education, and marital status correlated with disability and symptom severity in relapse onset and progressive-onset MS, independent of treatment. These findings suggest that socioeconomic status may reflect both structural and individual determinants of health in MS.
