The incidence of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes was determined in the district of Catania (eastern Sicily) in children under 15 years of age over a 3-year period (1 January 1989 to 31 December 1991). Two independent sources of information were used. The primary source was contact with all medical services in the province, and the secondary source was the personal identification cards issued to all diabetic patients by the National Health System necessary for obtaining free medical care. The information obtained was 99.6% complete. The overall incidence was 10.2/10(5) per year. This study provides the first standardized data on the incidence of type I diabetes in Sicily and is consistent with the possibility of regional deviations from the proposed north to south gradient.
在3年期间（1989年1月1日至1991年12月31日），对卡塔尼亚地区（西西里岛东部）15岁以下儿童的I型（胰岛素依赖型）糖尿病发病率进行了测定。使用了两个独立的信息来源。主要来源是与该省所有医疗服务机构的联系，次要来源是国家卫生系统发给所有糖尿病患者用于获得免费医疗的个人身份证。所获得的信息完整性为99.6%。总体发病率为每年10.2/10万。本研究提供了西西里岛I型糖尿病发病率的首批标准化数据，并且与该地区偏离所提出的从北到南梯度变化的可能性相符。
