The prevalence and incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in Finnish children and adolescents were studied by means of a national register of drug-treated diabetics and hospital records. At the end of 1979 the prevalence of diabetes in children aged 0-14 was 191/100 000, and in those aged 0-19, 262/100 000 respectively. During the 10-year period from 1970 to 1979, 3916 new diabetics aged 0-19 years were registered. The annual incidence of diabetes was 27.3/100 000 in the age group 0-19 years and 28.6/100 000 in those 0-14 years. The peak incidence of diabetes in girls occurred at 12 years of age and in boys at 14 years. There was a seasonal variation in the symptom debut, with peaks in April and in September and low rates in the summer. A regional variation in the prevalence and incidence rates was evident the rates being highest in eastern and lowest in northern Finland. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased clearly during the observation period, and the incidence tended to increase especially during the last years. Both prevalence and incidence rates of diabetes mellitus in Finnish children are high by international standards, possibly the highest in the world.
通过全国药物治疗糖尿病患者登记册和医院记录，对芬兰儿童及青少年胰岛素依赖型糖尿病的患病率和发病率进行了研究。1979年末，0至14岁儿童的糖尿病患病率为191/10万，0至19岁儿童的患病率为262/10万。在1970年至1979年的10年期间，登记了3916名0至19岁的新糖尿病患者。0至19岁年龄组的糖尿病年发病率为27.3/10万，0至14岁年龄组为28.6/10万。女孩糖尿病发病率的高峰出现在12岁，男孩出现在14岁。症状初现存在季节性变化，4月和9月出现高峰，夏季发病率较低。患病率和发病率存在地区差异，芬兰东部最高，北部最低。在观察期内，糖尿病患病率明显上升，发病率尤其在最后几年呈上升趋势。按照国际标准，芬兰儿童糖尿病的患病率和发病率都很高，可能是世界上最高的。
