  1. *p ≥ 0.05.
  2. AIC Akaike Information Criterion.
  3. All models are defined in the footnote of Fig. 5.
  4. Analysis of the deviance of the age-period-cohort model for all sexes combined. The p-value of each nested model is analyzed. For p ≥ 0.05, the corresponding model cannot be rejected; the parameters contained in this model may have affected the evolution of MS incidence over the study period. Sub-models at p < 0.05 can be rejected: there is no effect of the parameters contained in this sub-model that is highlighted.
