Faculty Opinions recommendation of Geographical variations in sex ratio trends over time in multiple sclerosis.

The descriptive epidemiology has proved to be dynamic with attenuation of the latitude gradient, increase in incidence among women, and changes in the sex ratio over time, indicating that recent changes in environmental factors are responsible. Although we still do not know the causes of MS, or how to prevent it, the current evidence supports causal roles for EBV infection, vitamin D, and cigarette smoking.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide information concerning trends over time and geographical variations in the number of adults with learning disabilities in England using self-directed support (SDS) and direct payments (DPs). Design/methodology/approach – Analysis of local authority returns to the Health and Social Care Information Centre (RAP Table SD1) concerning the number of working age adults with learning disabilities accessing SDS and DPs from 2009/2010 to 2011/2012. Findings – From 2009/2010 to 2012/2013 there has been a rapid increase in the number of working age adults with learning disabilities using SDS, particularly in the form of council services only, with the number of people using DPs staying largely static. There are wide geographical variations in the likelihood of adults with learning disabilities accessing all forms of SDS/DP. Originality/value – This paper analyses trends over time and geographical variations that have not previously been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
