- Citing this article BMJ Open October 31, 2013 3:e003418Objective: To investigate the prevalence of type 1 diabetes in children with an origin inSub-Saharan Africa in Sweden.Research design and methods: Nationwide register study based on retrievedprescriptions of insulin during 2009 in children aged 0–18 years. The study population consistedof 35,756 children in families with an origin in Sub-Saharan Africa and 1,666,051 children withnative Swedish parents.Results: The odds ratio (OR) for insulin medication in Swedish-born children in familiesoriginating in East Africa was 1.29 (95% CI 1.02–1.63) compared with offspring of nativeSwedish parents, after adjustment for age and sex, and less common in children who themselveswere born in East Africa: 0.50 (0.34–0.73). Offspring of parents from other parts of Sub-SaharanAfrica had a comparatively low risk for insulin medication.Conclusions: This study indicates that Swedish-born children with an origin in EastAfrica have a high risk of type 1 diabetes.
