What is average life expectancy with advanced ms?

The average life expectancy for individuals with advanced multiple sclerosis (MS) can vary significantly, typically ranging from 7 to 14 years after the onset of severe disability. Factors influencing this include the individual's overall health, access to medical care, and the presence of other medical conditions. While MS can lead to complications that may shorten life expectancy, many people with advanced MS can still live for several years with appropriate care and support.
