• Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease, while amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a genetic disease.
• Multiple sclerosis causes mental damage, while ALS causes more physical damage.
• MS is more common in women, while ALS is more common in men.
• Age is a risk factor for both diseases, but ALS is diagnosed in older people (40 to 70 years), while in MS the diagnosis begins at a younger age (20 to 50 years).
