Also, the number of those suffering from multiple sclerosis in the UK is not evenly distributed around this territory. It is still left unknown if the cause for this is lower Sun exposure, and therefore lower percentage of vitamin D in the organism of those who live further from equator, or is it simply genetics, or maybe something else. On the other hand, places like Canada and the United Kingdom have more percentage of Ms patients than anyone else. Those closer to equator have a very low chance of being affected by the disease. It is known that multiple sclerosis is not spread evenly around the globe. Out of 2.5 millions of people suffering from multiple sclerosis in the world, more than 100.000 of them come from the UK.
