Type 1 diabetes incidence in Scotland between 2006 and 2019
Authors' conclusion
Incidence of type 1 diabetes varies by age, sex and socio-economic status and has remained approximately stable from 2006 to 2019 in Scotland.

- Participants
- 14,564 people
- Exposure

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
T1D incidence
Incidence higher in men than women overall (men vs women, per 100,000)
around 22 and 17 per 100,000
Incidence in under 15 year olds, both sexes (higher than other age groups)
≈40 per 100,000
Observational data: associations, not effects.
