Background Finland has the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes worldwide, reaching 40 per 100000 people per year in the 1990s. Our aim was to assess the temporal trend in type 1 diabetes incidence since 2000 in Finnish children aged younger than 15 years and to predict the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in the future.Methods Children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes in Finland who were listed on the National Public Health Institute diabetes register, Central Drug Register, and Hospital Discharge Register in 1980-2005 were included in a cohort study. We excluded patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetes occurring secondary to other conditions, such as steroid use, Down's syndrome, and congenital malformations of pancreas.Findings 10737 children-5816 boys and 4921 girls-were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before 15 years of age during 1980-2005. The average age-standardised incidence was 42.9 per 100000 per year (95% Cl 42.6-44.3) during this period, increasing from 31.4 per 100 000 per year in 1980 to 64.2 per 100 000 per year in 2005. The age-specific rates per 100 000 per year were 31.0, 50.5, and 50 . 6 at ages 0-4 years, 5-9 years, and 10-14-years, respectively. We noted a significant non-linear component to the time trend (p
