Number of Diabetes Cases in Children Will Double
|
Lifestyles
The
researchers pointed out that the highest rate of increase in the
incidence of the disease were registered in the countries of Eastern
Europe, where changing habits and lifestyles at a faster pace compared
to those prevailing in the countries of Western Europe's wealthiest
nations.
Said
Dr. Chris Patterson, a one of the researchers involved in the study:
"Children born to older mothers are at risk for the first pattern of
diabetes is slightly higher (compared to those born to mothers
younger)."
The
researcher added, saying: "This is also the case for children who are
born in Caesarean section and children who have a willingness to
increase their weight in the early stages of age, while children who are
breastfed are at less risk for the disease."
20 countries
The
study was based on follow-up to 29 311 cases of children infected with
style I diabetes, were monitored in 20 European countries between 1989
and 2003.
It
is noteworthy that the first type of diabetes caused by a deficiency in
insulin, and must be treated by injecting the patient needed hormone in
the normal way.
The
incidence of this type of diabetes was only 10 percent of the total
number of cases of illness among humans in general, but this type is
more common among children when compared to Type II diabetes.
Rate of total
The researchers found that the overall pattern of injuries I diabetes has increased by 3.9 percent per year.
However,
the rate of injuries this pattern among children under five years of
age may be attributed rose 5.4 percent, while it rose among those
between the ages of the fifth year and the ninth year by 4.3 per year.
The
researchers conducted statistical reached under that, in accordance
with current patterns, it will be registered 24 400 new cases of
infections with style I diabetes among children under five years of age
in 2020, including 7142 cases among those under the age of five .
70 percent
It
is expected to increase the number of cases the first pattern of
diabetes among European children who are under the age of 15 years from
93 584 cases recorded in 2005 to reach 159,767 cases in 2020, and this
is what constitutes a high proportion of 70 percent.
For
his part, Dr Iain Frame, director of research at the charity Diabetes
Association in Britain, the results led the research as "worrying".
Dr.
Frame: "Long live the many people throughout their lives and they enjoy
good health. But, the more time spent by human patients with diabetes,
the greater the risk of complications suffered by the highest, and that
such as heart disease, deficiencies and kidney failure and blindness."
Additional research
But,
he said: "After all, there is still need for further research before we
can reach any concrete result on the causes of this increase in the
incidence of the first pattern of diabetes among young children."
The
announcement of the new search came a day after only one to publish the
results of another study in the journal "American Medical Association",
to the effect that diabetes is on the verge of becoming a global
problem, it is expected to be 60 percent of the cases of the disease in
Asia.
The
researchers concluded that the number of patients may be increased by a
third worldwide by 2025, especially among the poor countries and rich
medium
