Smoking status over two years in patients with multiple sclerosis.

abstract：:A total of 186 cases of motor neuron disease (MND) was identified in two Danish counties during the period 1974-1986. The average annual incidence rate was 1.4/100,000 population, and the male:female ratio of incidence rates was 1.5. Mean age at diagnosis was 64.3 +/- 10.0 years. The incidence rates increased signific...
