Abstract
Certain features of a group of 1309 diabetics were studied. The group was considered representative of Scottish diabetics since the sex distribution of cases corresponded to the sex distribution of deaths from diabetes recorded in the official mortality statistics for Scotland. Evidence is presented which justifies the use of Scottish mortality statistics for this purpose. A study of the incidence of diabetes in 413,110 Scottish recruits (male and female) suggested that in the general population the sex distribution of persons with undiagnosed diabetes might not be the same as that of persons known to have the disease. In both sexes, the disease began most frequently after age 40; sex incidence was equal up to age 40 and thereafter, female diabetics were more common than male diabetics. The high frequency of diabetes in women of middle age was confined to married women and appeared to be related, at least in part, to previous childbearing. The age at onset and the severity of the disease in this group of women were apparently uninfluenced by marriage and childbearing. Adult diabetics were no taller than the controls (hospital visitors). In the case of women diabetics, the maximum weight was significantly greater than thatPreview Only.
