Type 1 Diabetes

Part of the book series: Contemporary Endocrinology ((COE))

Abstract

Epidemiology is defined as “the study of the distribution and determinants of healthrelated states and events in populations, and the applications of this study to the control of health problems” (1). Epidemiology is the scientific basis of public health. One might wonder why we should even consider epidemiology for disorders such as type 1 diabetes, as remarkable advances have occurred in basic research during the past few decades.
