Overview
Epidemiology and demographics of type 1 diabetes mellitus varies with geography, age, race and genetic susceptibility. Incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus has been increased within the last decade and there are nearly 15-30 million of affected patients around the world. Most type 1 diabetes mellitus patients are children and since it's incidence dwindles after puberty, only one fourth of patients are diagnosed in their adulthood. The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus is related to race and ethnicity of patients. For instance, studies demonstrated that Non-Hispanic white patients have a higher type 1 diabetes mellitus incidence, compared to other races, whereas American Indians had the lowest type 1 diabetes mellitus incidence. Finland has the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in the world.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus varies with geography, age, race, and genetic susceptibility.
- Epidemiology and demographics of type 1 diabetes mellitus among children:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
- At a rate of 3-5% each year since 1960, the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus is increasing among children for not fully understood etiologies.[11] Although it can be interpreted that environmental factors could be at least partially responsible, since genetic factors can not intervene in such a short time.[12]
- In one study, incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in youth of the United States reported 24.3 (95% confidence interval CI, 23.3-25.3).[13]
- Another study done in Belgium reported an average of 9.9 new cases of diabetes mellitus type 1 per 100,000 individuals per year.[14]
Factors affecting the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus | Relationship between factors and incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus | Epidemiology |
---|---|---|
Geography | Incidence elevates with increased distance from equator | Incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus per 100,000 persons a year
0.1 to 0.5 per 100,000 persons in Venezula and parts of China 37 to 65 in Finland and Sardinia 23.6 per 100,000 per year in non-Hispanic white children and adolescents 36 per 100,000 per year in Newfoundland, Canada |
Gender | Gender doesn't affect the overall incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus | The prevalence and incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus doesn't vary with gender. |
Genetic susceptibility | There is an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus in close relatives of a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus | Lifetime risk of developing Type 1 DM
●No family history – 0.4 percent ●Offspring of an affected mother – 1 to 4 percent ●Offspring of an affected father – 3 to 8 percent ●Offspring with both parents affected – reported as high as 30 percent ●Non-twin sibling of affected patient – 3 to 6 percent ●Dizygotic twin – 8 percent ●Monozygotic twin – 30 percent within 10 years of diagnosis of the first twin, and 65 percent concordance by age 60 years |
Race | Incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus varies from race to race | Non-Hispanic white youth-2.55 ases per 1,000 children 0 to 19 years old
African American- 1.62 cases per 1,000 children 0 to 19 years old Hispanic-1.29 cases per 1,000 children 0 to 19 years old Asian-Pacific Islanders-0.6 cases per 1,000 children 0 to 19 years old American Indians-0.35 cases per 1,000 children 0 to 19 years old, respectively) |
Prevalence
- Type 1 diabetes affects ~15-30 million people globally.[1]
- In 2012, Ada estimated the prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in american children and adults at 1.25 million.[2]
- 5.6% of american adults diagnosed with diabetes mellitus have type 1 diabetes mellitus.[15]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The mortality rate among type 1 diabetes mellitus patients was 2.2/1000, based on a study done on Norwegian patients who were diagnosed between 1973 and 1982.[16]
Age
- Bimodal distribution, with one peak at four to six years of age and a second between 10 to 14 years of age.
- More than 85% of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are younger than 20 years old.[17]
- A study done on European population demonstrated that recent incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus was highest among individuals younger than 4 years old.[18] Nevertheless, type 1 diabetes mellitus incidence wanes after puberty.[17]
- Even though the overall incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus decreases after puberty, one fourth of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus are diagnosed as adults.[19]
Race
- In one study done on young population of the united states, type 1 diabetes mellitus were reported more frequent among non-Hispanic white, Hispanic and African Americans.[13]
- The following table is a summary of association between different races and diabetes mellitus type 1 incidence based on various age intervals:[17]
Race/Ethnicity | 0–4 years | 5–9 years | 10–14 years | 15–19 years |
---|---|---|---|---|
Non-Hispanic white | 19.4 per 100,000 | 30.1 per 100,000 | 32.9 per 100,000 | 11.9 per 100,000 |
African American | 12.0 per 100,000 | 19.3 per 100,000 | 21.3 per 100,000 | 9.5 per 100,000 |
Hispanic | 10.2 per 100,000 | 18.2 per 100,000 | 18.4 per 100,000 | 8.7 per 100,000 |
Asian and Pacific Islander | 5.2 per 100,000 | 7.6 per 100,000 | 9.1 per 100,000 | 5.7 per 100,000 |
Navajo | 1.15 per 100,000 | 3.28 per 100,000 | 1.95 per 100,000 | 4.03 per 100,000 |
Gender
- Some studies suggest that males are more commonly affected by type 1 diabetes mellitus than females, although non-immunologic subtype of type 1 diabetes mellitus is more common in females.[20][[#cite_note-Blohm�Nystr�m1992-21|[21]]][22] On the other hand, another study suggests that both genders are equally affected.[23]
- A study of Caucasian population demonstrated male to female ratio of 1.7 among HLA-DR3 associated patients, whereas male to female ratio have been reported 1.0 among HLA-DR4 associated patients.[24]
Region
- Finland has the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in the world.[25]
- The following is the list of regions which had an increased incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus from 1990–1999:[17]
- Asia
- Europe
- North America
- The following is the list of regions which had a decreased incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus from 1990-1999:[17]
- Central American
- The West Indies
- A study done on Gomel city population with radiation exposure after the Chernobyl incident demonstrated increased incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus.[26]
