The incidence of diabetes in children under 12 years of age has been studied in three regions of Scotland from 1976 to 1986. These areas represent more than half of the Scottish population of that age group. The overall annual incidence is 17.6 per 100,000, ranging from 16.8 in densely populated areas to 23.4 in more rural areas. Earlier studies have concerned the age group 0-18 years so the present results from a younger age group are, as expected, slightly lower but show the same trends. After a rise to 1983 there appears to have been a drop, but not in all areas. The danger of drawing conclusions from areas of low population or from short periods of time is stressed.
1976年至1986年间，对苏格兰三个地区12岁以下儿童的糖尿病发病率进行了研究。这些地区占该年龄组苏格兰人口的一半以上。总体年发病率为每10万人17.6例，从人口密集地区的16.8例到农村地区的23.4例不等。早期研究涉及0至18岁年龄组，因此，正如预期的那样，来自较年轻年龄组的当前结果略低，但显示出相同的趋势。到1983年有所上升之后，似乎出现了下降，但并非在所有地区。强调了从人口稀少地区或短时间内得出结论的危险性。
