title: [Incidence of pediatric diabetes mellitus in Austria--results of a prospective study 1989-1990].
abstract: The mean annual incidence of childhood diabetes mellitus (0-14 years of age) in Austria was 7,713 cases per 100,000 during 1989-1990. The manifestation rate in boys was insignificantly higher than in girls and the age distribution showed an increase up to an incidence peak around puberty. Typical seasonal variation with the highest incidence in autumn and winter could be demonstrated and the incidence in eastern parts of Austria seemed to be higher than in Vorarlberg.
