title: [Maternal age at the moment of birth and occurrence of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in the child].
abstract: The aim of the study was to determine whether advanced maternal age (over 35 years) on birth of a child had any influence on the incidence of IDDM in her offspring. The analysis has also taken into account the presence of other factors which may have some bearing on the incidence of the disease. They are the following: viral infections prior to the onset of IDDM, sequence of the affected child's birth in relation to other siblings, and family history of diabetes. The study included 243 persons who fell ill with IDDM at the age of 0-29 years in the period of January 1st 1980 to December 31st 1992 and the pair matched control group. They were all residents of the Rzeszów province at the onset of the disease. We have found that a positive family history of diabetes, viral infection especially epidemic parotitis, and parity are the factors which increase the incidence of IDDM. Advanced maternal age, over 35 years on child's birth, along with the above-mentioned factors, increase the incidence of IDDM.
