Abstract

In this nationwide prospective study we wanted to verify the trend of increasing diabetes incidence data from our earlier retrospective analysis of the military registry of Swiss men. The data collection of newly diagnosed children in Switzerland at an age younger than 15 years started in 1991. The countrywide survey used a small questionnaire which was sent back to the study centre. The questionnaire was anonymous and contained: hospital of diagnosis, initials, sex, birth date, date of diagnosis, residence, country of citizenship, and responsible physician.

A total of 941 children below the age of 15 years with newly diagnosed Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were collected (434 girls, 507 boys). The incidence in children aged 0 to 14 years rose significantly between 1991 and 1999 with a yearly average increase of 5.1%. In the age group 0 to 4 years a more than four-fold increase in incidence from 2.4/100,000 per year to 10.5/100,000 per year (p = 0.0002) was recorded, whereas the age-specific incidence in the 5 to 9-year-old and 10 to 14-year-old children did not change during the data collection period. The incide...Continue Reading
