We found a highly significant relationship between MS patient-linked admissions and latitude (r weighted by standard error (r sw ) = 0.75, p = 0.002).

Correlation of MS admissions with smoking prevalence There was a nominally significant inverse correlation with smoking but this was lost in the weighted regression ( figure 2a ; overall – r = −0.55, p = 0.04, r sw = −0.49, p = 0.08; r pw = −0.25, p = 0.39; figure 2b ; males – r = −0.52, p = 0.06, r sw = −0.47, p = 0.09; r pw = −0.21, p = 0.47; females – r = −0.56, p = 0.04; r sw = −0.49, p = 0.08; r pw = −0.25, p = 0.38).
