Recent Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Montenegro: A Shift Toward Younger Age at Disease Onset

“…Two youngest age groups (0-4 and 5-9 years) had the highest relative increase. This is in accordance with other studies reporting the increasing incidence of T1DM mostly in younger age group [11][12][13][14] , but is completely different from data reported in Croatia where the increase in the disease incidence ceased in the youngest children 15 . Similar to some other studies 16,17 , we found a steep increase in the incidence T1DM in Montenegro boys under five years of age.…”

In the present study we did not observe statistical significance regarding seasonality, but a seasonal pattern was observed in the age group 0-4 years, with more children being diagnosed during the warm months.…”

GADA Titer-Related Risk for Organ-Specific Autoimmunity in LADA Subjects Subdivided according to Gender (NIRAD Study 6)

This observation should be taken into account considering the previous evidence of the gender bias for T1DM (higher prevalence in males) (23,24). In LADA, the gender bias of the autoimmune diabetes could influence the gender bias of another autoantibody according to the level of the immunodominant antibody (GADA titer).…”
