The incidence of T1DM in Yamanashi Prefecture increased among children aged 0-14 years over the study period, with the most significant increase occurring among 5- to 9-year-olds. These data suggest that the number of children aged <15 years with T1DM is gradually increasing in one of the local prefectures in Japan, Yamanashi Prefecture and that the age of onset is decreasing.
