ABSTRACT
We studied the occurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in residents of all regions of New Zealand by analyzing first hospital admissions and deaths. Maoris had a much lower proportion of first admissions and deaths than the proportion of Maoris in the general population. For non-Maoris, both first hospital admission and mortality rates increased steadily from the northern part of the country to the south, with one possible exception.
