Incidence rates of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) are distributed over Europe along a North to South gradient where the values observed in Finland are 7-fold greater than in the South. According to previous data, France represented the bottom of this gradient. A survey in 1988 and 1989 was conducted in order to record all newly diagnosed diabetic children under 20 years of age, in 4 French regions: Aquitaine, Lorraine, lower Normandie, upper Normandie. The mean annual incidence rate was 7.3/10(5), without any significant geographical variation. Age-specific incidence rates indicated two peaks: one in the younger age group and the other around puberty, already described in most incidence studies. The study confirms that France is a country with one of the lowest incidence rate in Europe. It also suggests that incidence has increased over the past decades as in other countries.
胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（IDDM）的发病率在欧洲呈北高南低的梯度分布，芬兰的发病率比南部地区高7倍。根据以往数据，法国处于该梯度的底端。1988年和1989年，在法国的4个地区：阿基坦、洛林、下诺曼底和上诺曼底，开展了一项调查，以记录所有新诊断出的20岁以下糖尿病儿童。年平均发病率为7.3/10万，无明显地理差异。特定年龄发病率显示出两个高峰：一个在较年轻年龄组，另一个在青春期左右，大多数发病率研究中都已描述过。该研究证实，法国是欧洲发病率最低的国家之一。研究还表明，与其他国家一样，法国的发病率在过去几十年中有所上升。
