Analysis of chart data in a large series of patients with juvenile-onset, type I diabetes shows a highly significant (P less than 0.001) increased incidence in the children born to older mothers. Diabetes was also much more frequent in the late-birth-order siblings, and this appears to be an alternative expression of advanced maternal age. This observation suggests that there may be a subset of children who eventually develop type I diabetes and are at increased risk by virtue of being born to older mothers.
对一大群青少年期发病的I型糖尿病患者的图表数据进行分析后发现，母亲年龄较大的孩子患糖尿病的发病率显著增加（P<0.001）。晚出生顺序的兄弟姐妹患糖尿病的情况也更为常见，这似乎是母亲年龄较大的另一种表现形式。这一观察结果表明，可能存在一部分最终会患I型糖尿病的儿童，他们因母亲年龄较大而患病风险增加。
