An insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus Registry has been developed in
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, through hospital record review and
surveillance of pediatric practices. The yearly incidence ranged from
10/100,000 for nonwhite males to 16/100,000 for white males. There were no
temporal trends in incidence for 1965-1976 nor major sex differences.
Nonwhites had a slightly lower incidence, primarily in the younger age
groups.
