Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, disabling disease frequently striking young adults. Caring for a patient with this uncertain and progressive disease requires a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. Many patients with multiple sclerosis will have near normal lifespan, therefore it is vital that the health care professional be aware of the potential complications that these patients face from their disease and from the aging process. Understanding the challenges faced by an aging patient with multiple sclerosis can help the health care professional minimize morbidity and disability.
多发性硬化症是一种慢性致残性疾病，常侵袭年轻人。护理患有这种病情不明且呈进行性发展疾病的患者需要采取全面的多学科方法。许多多发性硬化症患者的寿命接近正常，因此，医护人员了解这些患者因疾病和衰老过程而面临的潜在并发症至关重要。了解老年多发性硬化症患者所面临的挑战有助于医护人员将发病率和残疾率降至最低。
