Non‐genetic risk determinants for type 1 (insulin‐dependent) diabetes mellitus in childhood

Abstract: Using the prospective Hungarian childhood diabetes register, a nationwide case-control study was carried out to investigate the possible role of various non-genetic factors as risk determinants for type 1 diabetes in childhood. A questionnaire (covering family characteristics, social status, fetal and perinatal events, breast-feeding habits, infectious diseases and stressful life events) was sent by mail to all incident diabetic children in 1990 (n = 163) and to two referent children (for each diabetic child),… Show more

“…A study from Denmark (with 839 cases) reported no significant difference in birthweight between cases and controls. Finally, two other studies, one from Hungary [29] and one from USA [40], reported little evidence of a difference, but contained relatively few cases (163 and 103, respectively). …”

In a Swedish study [30] (with 4,584 cases of type 1 diabetes) we were able to estimate results from a figure, but only using a different reference category (of 3.0 to 4.0 kg).…”

“…In Germany, as in other European countries, the growing social inequality among children is a serious problem [6]. Epidemiological studies on the association between social status and type 1 diabetes in children have reported conflicting results, finding positive [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], inverse [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] or no associations [26][27][28]. Likewise, the results of studies on the relation with population density and with urban versus rural areas are contradictory [10,13,14,17,19,29,30].…”
