From Science Daily (3/19):
"Countries with lower mortality from infectious disease exhibit higher rates of type 1 diabetes, according to a new study
by Dr. A. Abela and Professor S. Fava of the University of Malta. The
findings, collating data from three major international studies and
presented at the Society for Endocrinology annual conference in
Harrogate UK, suggest that the as yet unexplained global rise in type 1
diabetes may be linked to reduced exposure to pathogens in early life."
