最近,麦肯齐等人。1990-2010年英国多发性硬化症(MS)的报告发病率和患病率。该报告的作者指出,他们无法解释这段时间内英国MS发病率下降趋势的原因。这主要是由于经常被引用的多发性硬化症假说,如维生素D缺乏假说,不能为多发性硬化症的发病趋势提供任何答案。然而,新提出的基于地磁扰动(GMD)的生物效应的MS假说有能力为这一观察到的趋势提供解释。在这篇评论中,我们表明GMD的改变与MS发病率的变化之间有显著的相关性,并解释了研究者如何使用GMD假说来评估这种关系。此外,我们还阐明了为什么我们需要修订报告MS发病率数据的方法,以发现MS的实际环境因素。

英文摘要:
Recently, Mackenzie et al. reported incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the UK from 1990-2010. Authors of this report indicated that they could not explain the cause of decreasing MS incidence trend in the UK during this time period. Such inability mainly resulted from the fact that often-cited hypotheses of MS, such as vitamin D deficiency hypothesis, cannot provide any answer for MS incidence trends. However, the newly proposed hypothesis of MS that is based on the biological effects of geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) has the ability to provide explanations for this observed trend. In this commentary, we showed that there is a significant correlation among alterations in GMD with changes in MS incidence and explained how researchers can use GMD hypothesis to evaluate such relations. Moreover, we clarified why we need a revision in the method of reporting MS incidence data to find actual environmental factor of MS.
