Abstract

Comparison of age-specific prevalence of juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus between 1946 and 1958 British cohort birth studies (up to the ages of 26 and 23, respectively) suggests that the overall prevalence of diabetes in young life has not increased, but the disease is manifest at an earlier age in susceptible individuals.
