Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

We analysed the temporal changes in the incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes and its demographic determinants in Poland from 1989 to 2004, validating the model with data from 1970 to 1989. We also estimated a predictive model of the trends in childhood diabetes incidence for the near future.

Methods

Children under 15 years with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus and drawn from seven regional registries in Poland were ascertained prospectively using the Epidemiology and Prevention of Diabetes study (EURODIAB) criteria. The type 1 diabetes incidence rates (IRs) were analysed in dependency of age, sex, seasonality, geographical region and population density. Time trends in IR were modelled using several approaches.

Results

The average incidence, standardised by age and sex, for 1989 to 2004 was 10.2 per 100,000 persons per year and increased from 5.4 to 17.7. No difference was found between boys and girls, or between urban and rural regions. In children above 4 years, IR was significantly higher in the population of northern Poland than in that of the country’s southern part, as well as in the autumn–winter season, this finding being independent of child sex. Based on the trend model obtained, almost 1,600 Polish children aged 0 to 14 years are expected to develop type 1 diabetes in 2010, rising to more than 4,800 in 2025. The estimates suggest at least a fourfold increase of IR between 2005 and 2025, with the highest dynamics of this increment in younger children.

Conclusions/interpretation

These estimates show that Poland will have to face a twofold higher increase in childhood type 1 diabetes than predicted for the whole European population. The dramatic increase could have real downstream effects on Poland’s healthcare system.

Introduction

The incidence of type 1 diabetes in children has been increasing by 3% to 5% per year worldwide since the 1960s [14]. The environmental factors responsible for this epidemic remain unknown, but some evidence suggests that the highest increase is observed in countries undergoing rapid ‘westernisation’ [4]. Some of the strongest evidence for this secular increase in childhood diabetes has come from Poland [58]. In the 1990s, Poland experienced unprecedented socioeconomic transformations that culminated with the country’s accession to the European Union in 2004. Against this background, we analysed the temporal changes in the incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes and its demographic determinants in Poland from 1989 to 2004, validating the model with data from 1970 to 1989. In addition, a predictive model was developed to estimate the trends in childhood diabetes incidence for the near future.

Methods

Children with type 1 diabetes who had been diagnosed under the age of 15 years were identified prospectively using the Epidemiology and Prevention of Diabetes study (EURODIAB) criteria [9]. Data were collected by seven regional registries in Poland, between 1989 and 2004. The registries (Łódzkie, Małopolskie, Podlasie, Pomorskie, Silesia, Warmia-Mazury and Podkarpackie regions) cover approximately 35% of the Polish population. The data were collected from two independent sources: outpatient diabetic clinics and hospitals. In Poland every child diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is obliged to remain under the care of diabetic clinics within the public national healthcare system.
The population data were obtained from the country’s Central Statistical Office (http://​www.​stat.​gov.​pl, accessed 10 March 2010). Type 1 diabetes incidence rates (IRs) and 95% CIs were estimated per 100,000 persons per year, among all children aged between 0 and 14 years, and in three age subgroups: 0 to 4, 5 to 9 and 10 to 14 years old. The IRs were standardised by age and sex to the population of Poland in 2005.
Study of the IR was also performed according to sex, geographic region (southern vs northern Poland) and population density. The following regions were classified as belonging to northern Poland: Podlasie, Pomorskie and Warmia-Mazury, with the others constituting the southern Poland group. Regions defined as urban, with a population density higher than 120 people per km², included Łódzkie, Małopolskie, Pomorskie and Silesia; the others were regarded as rural (Fig. 1).
Time trends in the IR of type 1 diabetes among children under 15 years of age up to 2025 were modelled using several approaches, from univariate linear models through multivariate linear models to generalised additive models with interactions of higher order [10]. Akaike’s information criterion (AIC), together with the test of relative fit, was used for model selection. Incidence data for 1970 to 1989 from Wielkopolskie and for 2005 to 2006 from Łódzkie were used to additionally validate the final model.
The seasonality of type 1 diabetes incidence throughout the year was evaluated using the Rayleigh test.
All statistical analysis was done in the Institute of Automatic Control, The Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland.

Results

Incidence rate and seasonality
The primary data on the incidence of type 1 diabetes among children aged 0 to 14 years included 4,268 cases (2,230 boys, 2,038 girls). The average incidence, standardised for age and sex, for 1989 to 2004 was 10.2 per 100,000 persons per year (95% CI 8.70–11.87). Between 1989 and 2004, the overall incidence increased more than threefold, from 5.4 to 17.7 per 100,000 persons per year. No significant difference was noticed between boys and girls, either for overall type 1 diabetes incidence, or in the three age subgroups over this period (Table 1).

A comparative age- and sex-stratified analysis of seasonality in type 1 diabetes incidence was performed (Fig. 2). A significant increase in type 1 diabetes incidence among children above 4 years of age was observed in the autumn–winter season (p = 0.1373 for age group 0–4 years, p < 0.000001 for age groups 5–9 and 10–14 years). However, no statistical difference was found between boys and girls (p > 0.05).
Trend models
Selection of the trend model of type 1 diabetes IR was done using the stepwise procedure, where several models were sequentially fitted to the data and the successive choices depended on the obtained quality of fit. Incidence of type 1 diabetes was assumed to follow the Poisson model. Two procedures were used to evaluate quality of fit: (1) the forward procedure with AIC criterion; and (2) the test of relative fit [10]. The starting step for the model selection procedure was construction of univariate linear models within different sex and age subgroups. Results of their fit to data are shown in Table 1. The dynamics of the increase of annual IR are described by the value in the slope coefficient. Based on the values in Table 1, the increase in annual IR is highest in the age stratum 5 to 9 years, this being independent of sex.
As seen from Table 1, the value of the slope coefficient significantly depends on the age group. This observation suggests that the dynamics of the IR increase depend on multiple variables, so in the next step, several multivariate generalised models were constructed [10] containing the explaining variables year, age and sex, as well as some possible interaction terms of these explaining variables. Results of fitting this model to the data are presented in Table 3 (base model section). This section shows several variants of multivariate generalised models, together with values of the two criteria describing the quality of fit, residual variance and AIC. On the basis of both criteria of model fit, the best (final) model is the one listed at the bottom of the base model section. Along with the explaining variables year, age group and sex, which influence the dynamics of IR, this model includes two interaction components to the trend. The first interaction component is related to different dynamics in age groups (year:age). This component captures the negative interaction between calendar year and age group, reflecting the annual decrease in IR among children above 9 years old, relative to the IR among the younger ones. The second component is associated with the age and sex interaction (age:sex). This interaction component corrects for age depending on sex where the lower IR among the youngest girls compared with the youngest boys becomes similar to the IR among boys within the older children’s group (Fig. 3b).

Figure 4 presents the standardised IR in the overall Polish population between 0 and 14 years of age during the observation period, as well as the best-fitting time trend. Figure 3a, b demonstrates the results for sex and age groups.
Validation of the final model was done with the use of independent registers. The observed number of new cases in the Łódzkie region during 2005 and 2006 was similar to that predicted from the generalised time trend model, i.e. 141.3 vs 153, error 7.7%. The prediction error was on average equal to the 22.2% (from 0.15% to 59.2%) for incidence in the Wielkopolskie register from 1970 to 1989 [5].
To perform comparative analysis between northern and southern Poland, as well as between urban and rural areas, two more models were elaborated, one including dependence on the geographical region, the other including dependence on the area (rural or urban), as indicated (Table 3). According to these models, IRs depend on the geographical location of the regions and are significantly higher in northern Poland. Interaction components correct for these differences, showing the IR is growing faster in southern Poland in general. The increase is the highest among children aged 5 to 9 years (Fig. 3c).
Although the final model in the comparison of urban with rural regions includes a set of significant interaction terms, their effects cancel each other out, and at the moment no differences in type 1 diabetes incidence are detectable between urban and rural regions. However, according to the model established in this study, a slightly higher rise in IR can be expected in urban areas (Fig. 3d).
Based on the elaborated general additive modelling model and assuming a constant population size at the level of 2005, almost 1,600 Polish children aged 0 to 14 years are expected to develop type 1 diabetes in 2010, while more than 4,800 will be diagnosed in 2025. During the next 15 years, from 2010 to 2025, we expect 46,633 children to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Poland, a figure significantly higher than the predictions given by the linear model, i.e. 24,472 new cases (Fig. 5).

Discussion

The global increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents is widely recognised, although considerable variability has been observed among countries [11, 12]. Scandinavia has one of the highest IRs of childhood diabetes, although variability is high, both between and even within different countries [4]. Increasingly often, moreover, type 1 diabetes is being observed in patients with low genetic susceptibility [13]. Environmental factors therefore seem to represent a major trigger, initiating the disease by their sequential or simultaneous influence and/or due to lack of protective environmental agents [1418].
Epidemiological studies conducted in the 1980s and early 1990s, such as EURODIAB and the Diabetes Mondiale Project (DIAMOND), ranked Poland among countries of very low type 1 diabetes incidence, with approximately 6.6 cases per 100,000 persons per year [2, 3, 11]. Current studies [8, 19] indicate considerable change in this classification, grouping Poland with countries that have medium type 1 diabetes incidence, i.e. above 15 cases per 100,000 persons per year.
The dynamic increase in new cases of type 1 diabetes in Central and Eastern Europe has been reported recently by various investigator teams [2, 4, 2022]. Thus in the EURODIAB study [4], which covered 1989 to 2003, Poland was represented by the Silesian region, with a mean maximal increase in IR of 9.3% per year. Similar results were found for other Eastern European states: Romania (8.4% increase), the Czech Republic (6.7% increase) and Slovakia (5.1% increase in diabetes incidence). By contrast, countries traditionally experiencing high type 1 diabetes incidence, such as Finland, Sweden and Norway, showed more modest increases of only 2.7%, 3.3% and 1.3%, respectively.
This dramatic increase of new cases in the countries named could be associated with their rapid adoption of a westernised lifestyle after the socioeconomic transformations seen since the early 1990s [22, 23]. The most important factors connected with this process are, in our opinion: the wide availability of pre-processed food, the popularisation of fast-food and lifestyle-related changes in leisure activities, e.g. computer/internet and media player use instead of natural physical activity. These and similar factors have probably caused the twofold increase in prevalence of overweight and obesity among Polish children [24]. The predicted incidence of type 1 diabetes in Polish children and adolescents in the next 15 years is alarming. A validated statistical model enabled us to reliably predict that from 2010 to 2025 the number of new cases would reach 46,600, with an evident downward shift in the age of onset.
The model established in this study confirms previous observations of a most remarkable rise in childhood type 1 diabetes incidence among the youngest age groups [25, 26]. Thus the number of children who will not even remember their pre-diabetes life, without insulin dependence, is rising. Likewise, the impact of prognostic factors that strongly contribute to chronic diabetic complications, e.g. disease duration and its influence on the psychosocial development of a child and his/her family, is being extended.
In some regions, sex-related differences have been reported in selected age subgroups [27, 28]. Our analysis of the Polish population revealed a similar distribution of new cases in both sexes, with no changes forecast for the following years. The north–south gradient in type 1 diabetes incidence, with a higher disease frequency in the northern regions, has been previously described [4, 12, 21]. This type of incidence distribution was also observed by us in Poland. However, future predictions indicate that an inverse trend may emerge in the coming years. This apparent inversion might be explained by a rapid increase in type 1 diabetes incidence across the whole country. Another factor worth considering is the relatively small distance between the studied regions, 400 km on average.
While progressive urbanisation might be a contributory factor to the increased type 1 diabetes incidence, the data on this subject remain inconsistent [27, 28]. Our analysis did not reveal significant differences between urban and rural areas, although a slightly higher incidence was noted in areas characterised by more dense populations, this being particularly visible in the proposed predictive model.
The estimate of the increase in type 1 diabetes does not seem to be influenced by changes in identification of cases. This has remained high and stable throughout the past five decades, due to the Polish healthcare system. All children with diabetes remain under the care of paediatric diabetes centres.
A recent report by the DIAMOND group on seasonality in type 1 diabetes incidence demonstrates that, in some regions of the world (40% of all participating centres), winter or summer peaks are discernible, depending on the geographic coordinates of the country [29]. These relations seem particularly true for countries more distant from the equator, countries with higher IR and among older children. In our study, apart from the youngest subgroup, the seasonality of type 1 diabetes incidence is clearly visible, with the highest emergence of new cases during the autumn and winter months. Plausible explanations for this phenomenon usually focus on the higher incidence of viral and bacterial infections at this time of the year [16, 17]. In contrast, infectious morbidity in the youngest children is less season-dependent, which might be reflected in this long-term observation. Another explanation of the seasonal rise in type 1 diabetes may be related to the increased physical activity and lack of school stress during the summer holiday [29, 30].
Our study has several limitations. It covers only 35% of the childhood diabetes population, the result of Poland not having a national diabetes register. Our regional registers include only patients up to 14 years of age, because the healthcare system allows patients from the age of 16 years to decide whether to stay in paediatric care or move to adult care. Additionally, only a limited number of functional dependences could be investigated during model building and the obtained estimates should be treated with some caution. It seems reasonable that the process of IR increase will not follow exponential-like growth, but will reach some saturation level in the future. To be able to detect that level, the data must include the symptoms of such a process. However, the incidence of type 1 diabetes in Poland is still growing rapidly, thereby making such detection impossible. The prediction obtained for 2025 classes Poland with countries that have an IR equal to 75 cases per 100,000 persons per year, a value comparable to the predictions for Scandinavian countries [31]. As predictions made more than a few years ahead can prove to be very inaccurate, it should be kept in mind that the conclusion on the possible rapid rise of type 1 diabetes mellitus cases is not definite.
During the past 15 years the incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes in Poland has increased threefold, with a predicted additional at least fourfold increase from 2005 to 2025, with the highest dynamics of this increment in the youngest age group. These estimates show that Poland will have to face a twofold higher increase in childhood type 1 diabetes than that predicted for the whole European population. The EURODIAB data published in 2009 forecast only a less than twofold increase in new cases (until 2020), with the same incidence trend among younger and very young children [4].
While 12,465 cases were diagnosed in Poland from 1989 to 2004, more than 46,600 cases are expected in the following 16 years. The burden of childhood diabetes will therefore increase dramatically, with clear downstream effects on the country’s healthcare system.
