Abstract

We studied the incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) among children up to 15 years old of Caucasian and Mapuche origin, in the IX Region of Chile between 1980 and 1993. The Mapuche, or native Chileans, have their own culture, language an distinctive ethnic characteristics. Data were collected according to the methods recommended by the Diabetes Epidemiology Research International Group. We diagnosed IDDM in 47 children, 22 boys and 25 girls. The average annual incidence was 1.27/100,000 inhabitants (95% confidence intervals (C.I.) 0.83-1.71/100,000). The highest incidence along this period was during winter and spring. There was significant difference (P < 0.0016) in the IDDM incidence in Caucasians (1.58/100,000, 95% C.I. 1.11-2.04) compared with Mapuche (0.42/100,000, 95% C.I. 0-0.95). These results show that Mapuche children have less chance of developing diabetes.

摘要

我们研究了1980年至1993年期间智利第九大区15岁及以下白种人和马普切族儿童中胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（IDDM）的发病率。马普切人，即智利原住民，拥有自己的文化、语言和独特的民族特征。数据是根据国际糖尿病流行病学研究组推荐的方法收集的。我们诊断出47例IDDM患儿，其中22名男孩，25名女孩。年平均发病率为1.27/10万居民（95%置信区间（C.I.）为0.83 - 1.71/10万）。这一时期发病率最高的季节是冬季和春季。与马普切族（0.42/10万，95% C.I.为0 - 0.95）相比，白种人的IDDM发病率（1.58/10万，95% C.I.为1.11 - 2.04）存在显著差异（P < 0.0016）。这些结果表明，马普切族儿童患糖尿病的几率较低。
