Using three adjustments, we have revised a 1976 prevalence count for multiple sclerosis in the United States. The adjustments were made to data from a US national survey; they used 1990 population projections from the US Bureau of the Census, and results of investigations conducted in Weld and Larimer Countries, Colorado, and Olmsted County, Minnesota. It is estimated that approximately 250,000 to 350,000 persons in the United States in 1990 had physician-diagnosed multiple sclerosis.
通过三项调整，我们修正了1976年美国多发性硬化症的患病率统计数据。这些调整是针对一项美国全国性调查的数据进行的；使用了美国人口普查局1990年的人口预测数据，以及在科罗拉多州韦尔德县和拉里默县、明尼苏达州奥尔姆斯特德县开展的调查结果。据估计，1990年美国约有25万至35万人被医生诊断患有多发性硬化症。
