Black women had a higher risk of MS (risk ratio 1.59, 95% CI 1.27–1.99; p = 0.0005) whereas black men had a similar risk of MS (risk ratio 1.04, 95% CI = 0.67–1.57) compared with whites.Conclusions: Our findings do not support the widely accepted assertion that blacks have a lower risk of MS than whites. A possible explanation for our findings is that people with darker skin tones have lower vitamin D levels and thereby an increased risk of MS, but this would not explain why Hispanics and Asians have a lower risk of MS than whites or why the higher risk of MS among blacks was found only among women.CI=confidence interval; CIS=clinically isolated syndrome; ICD-9=International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision; MS=multiple sclerosis
