OBJECTIVE: To investigate and monitor the patterns in incidence of
childhood type 1 diabetes worldwide. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The
incidence of type 1 diabetes (per 100,000 per year) from 1990 to 1994 was
determined in children < or =14 years of age from 100 centers in 50
countries. A total of 19,164 cases were diagnosed in study populations
totaling 75.1 million children. The annual incidence rates were calculated
per 100,000 population. RESULTS: The overall age-adjusted incidence of type
1 diabetes varied from 0.1/100,000 per year in China and Venezuela to
36.8/100,000 per year in Sardinia and 36.5/100,000 per year in Finland.
This represents a >350-fold variation in the incidence among the 100
populations worldwide. The global pattern of variation in incidence was
evaluated by arbitrarily grouping the populations with a very low
(<1/100,000 per year), a low (1-4.99/100,000 per year), an intermediate
(5-9.99/100,000 per year), a high (10-19.99/100,000 per year), and a very
high (> or =20/100,000 per year) incidence. Of the European populations,
18 of 39 had an intermediate incidence, and the remainder had a high or
very high incidence. A very high incidence (> or =20/ 100,000 per year)
was found in Sardinia, Finland, Sweden, Norway Portugal, the U.K., Canada,
and New Zealand. The lowest incidence (<1/100,000 per year) was found in
the populations from China and South America. In most populations, the
incidence increased with age and was the highest among children 10-14 years
of age. CONCLUSIONS: The range of global variation in the incidence of
childhood type 1 diabetes is even larger than previously described. The
earlier reported polar-equatorial gradient in the incidence does not seem
to be as strong as previously assumed, but the variation seems to follow
ethnic and racial distribution in the world population.
