Abstract
Deaths (4912) related to multiple sclerosis were identified in France during 1968-1977. The average annual death rate was equal to 0.96/100,000 population. Analysis showed a clear south to north increasing gradient. No geographic difference was found from data concerning 5173 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) deaths which were identified during the same interval. An increase in the number of deaths related to ALS was observed over the study period.Keywords
