Search for: [Abstract = "children living in the city of Krakow had a much higher incidence rate than children living in rural areas \(11.4 vs. 6.60, p <0.0001\). The analysis of the trend showed a significant increase in incidence of type I diabetes in children 0\-14 years by 0.59\/100 OOO per year \(p = 0.000044\). The highest increase of incidence by 0.89\/100 000\/year \(p = 0.00002\) was observed in children aged 5\-9 years living in Krakow region and in girls 5\-9 years of age living in the city ofKrakow \- by 1.64\/100 000\/year \(p=0.001\). In the age group 0\-4 years, the annual increase of incidence rate was slightly lower and amounted to 0.62\/100 000\/year \(p = 0.000064\). The increase of inciclence among adolescents between 10 and 14 years of age was not significant equaling 0.25 \/ 100 000\/year \(p = 0.167\). The increasing tendency was three times higher in children living in the city of Krakow as compared to those living in villages, 0.92 \/ 100 OOO\/ year \(p = 0.001\) vs. 0.28 \/ 100 OOO\/ year \(p = 0.0250\). The analysis of the seasonality of diabetes demonstrated that the majority of new cases was diagnosed in winter, and lowest number in summer months \(p = 0.0293\). The observed since 1997 incidence rates exceeding 10\/100 000\/year place the city and the county of Krakow in the group of areas with a high risk of diabetes and prompt to undertake activities aiming at early detection of the disease, improving tre"]
