    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 1987;50:134-139 Occurrence of multiple sclerosis in the north and south of New Zealand D C G SKEGG,* P A CORWIN,* R S CRAVEN,t J A MALLOCH,t M POLLOCKt From the Department ofPreventive and Social Medicine, University ofOtago,* Dunedin, Department of Neurology, Waikato Hospital,t Hamilton, and the Division ofNeurology, Department ofMedicine,T University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand SUMMARY An impression that multiple sclerosis is commoner in southern parts of New Zealand than in the north has never been tested rigorously. Identical methods were used to determine the prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis in two regions: the Waikato (in the North Island) and Otago and Southland (in the South Island). No cases were found in Maoris, while the expected number was 11 7. The prevalence rate of multiple sclerosis (excluding possible cases) in non-Maoris was 24 per 100,000 in the northern region and 69 per 100,000 in the south. The incidence rate was also more than twice as high in the southern region. These findings are considered in relation to genetic and environmental hypotheses about the aetiology of multiple sclerosis. In several parts of the world the prevalence of mul- tiple sclerosis increases with distance from the equa- tor, though this relation to latitude is not found con- sistently.1 Most studies have been carried out in the Northern Hemisphere and the need for more infor- mation from the Southern Hemisphere has been 1 Hamilton stressed.4 2 Rotorua Waikato In Australia, McCall et a16 found that the preva- 3 1D.

The Waikato region encompasses the Waikato, Matamata-Piaka, Waipa, South Waikato districts and Hamilton City. This is smaller than the Waikato regional council area, which extends to the King Country, Taupo, Hauraki and the Coromandel Peninsula, and parts of the Rotorua district. Waikato is known for its rich agriculture and pastoral areas, leaving a relaxed peaceful lifestyle. At its heart is the city of Hamilton, with a population of over 141,000 and New Zealand's fourth largest city, just about an hour and a half's drive south of Auckland. Hamilton is a naturally beautiful city built on the banks of the mighty Waikato River. Head west from Hamilton toward the coast and you’ll discover the beachside settlement of Raglan. Internationally renowned with surfers for its left-hand point breaks, Raglan has grown over the years to appeal to a much wider audience than surfer alone. With its laid-back atmosphere, stunning surroundings and bustling art scene, Raglan presents a great living option if the lifestyle suits.
