I'm not sure this information is meant to be useful to us, but contributes to our understanding of the disease. Medical records in Northern Europe can be an excellent way to teasing out causes. Of course statistics aren't that useful anyway on a personal level. I'm in the worse category (male, 45+), but that has no bearing on my personal course any more than average income in my post code has on my income. Finally, this is not a zero-sum game. A dollar (or euro or kroner) spent on statistical research is not a dollar less to spend on a cure. One of the first thoughts of anyone when diagnosed is whether their children will get it and it is helpful to know *something* about the probabilities.
I give my children 2k vitamin D each day in the hopes of preventing them getting MS.
