The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among the cohort of children in the Child Health and Education Study studied at age 10 was 1.3/1000. Comparison with prevalences found in the two previous British birth cohort studies suggested that the prevalence of diabetes is doubling roughly every decade. The data suggested that childhood diabetics are a socially advantaged group. These findings have important implications and should be taken into account by health service planners if the needs of these children are to be met in the future.
在儿童健康与教育研究中,对10岁儿童队列进行研究发现,糖尿病患病率为1.3/1000。与此前两项英国出生队列研究中的患病率相比,表明糖尿病患病率大约每十年就会翻一番。数据显示,儿童糖尿病患者是社会优势群体。这些发现具有重要意义,如果未来要满足这些儿童的需求,医疗服务规划者应予以考虑。
