White women in temperate climates tend to have a higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition that affects the central nervous system. MS affects the transmission of nerve impulses, possibly causing an inability to speak, write, or walk. There are four patterns of multiple sclerosis.

A less common pattern of the disease is a steady worsening of symptoms from the first sign of illness.
