✦ Synopsis

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is one of the major non-communicable diseases in children aged 14 years or under. Although the aetiology of IDDM is still unknown, it is currently assumed that both genetic 1-4 and environmental factors [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] operate together in a process in the pancreatic ␤-cells leading to the onset of diabetes. Most of the information on IDDM incidence comes from the geographical regions with a high or intermediate level of incidence, e.g. Europe and North America, where a large number of IDDM registries have been established since the mid-1980s. Although several standardized registries have recently
