Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes in Finland The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D), one of the most prevalent chronic disease in children, has increased worldwide.1 The highest recorded incidence in children younger than 15 years was 64.2 per 100 000 person-years in Finland in 2005.2 We examined the incidence rates between 2006 and 2011 in Finnish children younger than 15 years as well as the 32-year trend (1980-2011).
