The study found that 57% of patients were of Asian or Asian British ethnicity, with the highest proportion in east London.
The average age of patients was 22, and the most common symptoms were pins and needles in the arms and legs, caused by spinal cord and peripheral nerve damage.
The study suggests that genetic or social factors may be involved, but more research is needed to understand the cause of the harm.
