Sažetak
The aim of research was to find an environmental link between the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and malignant neoplasms in Croatia. MS incidence and prevalence for the single municipality were correlated with the corresponding cancer incidence data. The analysis was done separately for the continental and the coastal area. Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to measure the correlation between both diseases. The geographic distribution of MS and pancreatic as well as colorectal cancer was significantly correlated in both survey areas. Moreover, in the continental area an increasing correlation was found for the rectum cancer (P=0.002) alone too, whilst stomach (P=0.013), brain (P=0.03) and lung cancer (P=0.003) were also well correlated in the coastal area. The similarity of MS distribution with the named malignancies is unlikely to be incidental. Difference of rates between surveyed areas may reflect a different distribution of risk factors. A list of risk and protective factors for MS and neoplasm diseases drawn from different sources is presented.
