Abstract
•Data in cohort MS studies is seldom disaggregated by sex and males are poorly considered.•Results in MS studies may be markedly biased by the female predominance of the disease.•Men present as double the frequency of PPMS than women.•Clinical and demographic data differ between men and women mostly due to the disease course than to sex.•It's crucial to include stratified analysis by sex and phenotype when designing MS studies.
