The prevalence of childhood-onset Type 1 diabetes mellitus is important for determining health care provisions. In Leicestershire 13.5% of the childhood population (0-14 years) is of South Asian origin (census 1991). This study determined the prevalence of Type 1 diabetes in Whites and South Asians in Leicestershire, using a capture/recapture method to coincide with the 1991 Census day. Children (0-14 years) with Type 1 diabetes were captured from the central diabetic register. The health visitor and consultant records were used to recapture the cases. Total ascertainment of cases was 95-100%. The prevalence of Type 1 diabetes in White children (107 cases) was 0.75/1000 children (95% CI 0.61-0.89) compared with the South Asian prevalence (18 cases) of 0.77/1000 (95% CI 0.41-1.13). The overall prevalence in White males was 0.82/1000 (0.61-1.03) compared with 0.68/1000 (0.48-0.87) in females. In South Asian males it was 0.59/1000 (0.15-1.03) compared with 0.96/1000 (0.39-1.53) in females. The prevalence of Type 1 diabetes in children of South Asian migrants to the United Kingdom cannot be said to be different from White children.
儿童期发病的1型糖尿病患病率对于确定医疗保健服务至关重要。在莱斯特郡，13.5%的儿童人口（0至14岁）为南亚裔（1991年人口普查）。本研究采用捕获-再捕获法，以与1991年人口普查日同步，确定了莱斯特郡白人和南亚裔人群中1型糖尿病的患病率。从中央糖尿病登记处获取0至14岁患1型糖尿病的儿童。利用健康访视员和顾问的记录对病例进行再捕获。病例总确诊率为95%-100%。白人儿童中1型糖尿病的患病率（107例）为0.75/1000名儿童（95%可信区间0.61-0.89），而南亚裔的患病率（18例）为0.77/1000（95%可信区间0.41-1.13）。白人男性的总体患病率为0.82/1000（0.61-1.03），女性为0.68/1000（0.48-0.87）。在南亚裔男性中为0.59/1000（0.15-1.03），女性为0.96/1000（0.39-1.53）。不能认为移民到英国的南亚裔儿童中1型糖尿病的患病率与白人儿童不同。
