Caesárea Increases the risk of type 1 diabetes
An international review of 10,000 cases reveals that there is

Children born by caesarean section have 20% more possibilities to develop type 1 diabetes than those who come to the world through vaginal delivery, according to a review of the accumulated scientific evidence in observational studies published so far.

Childbirth with surgery prevents baby contact with vaginal flora
The work responsible for the work, led by scientists from Queen's University of Belfast, has analyzed 20 studies that include around 10,000 children with type 1 diabetes and a control group composed of more than one million minors.The conclusion is clear: to be born by caesarean section increases the risk of developing diabetes by 20%.In their work, researchers have ruled out the influence of other possible risk factors such as birth weight, mother's age, birth order, gestational diabetes and breast milk.

The meta -analysis, whose details can be consulted in the May edition of the Diabetology magazine, is part of the investigations aimed at knowing the cause of the considerable expansion of type 1 diabetes in recent years;An expansion that, according to the authors of the study, has evolved in parallel with the recent explosion of births by caesarean section.Both phenomena have been especially intense in Western countries.

In Spain the figures give to think.In the last decade the cases of type 1 diabetes have increased between 15% and 30%, as in most Western countries, especially in children under five years.Meanwhile, if in 1998 caesarean sections represented 18.2% of the total, today this figure has shot up to 25.2%, far from 15% that the World Health Organization considers acceptable.

"Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system destroys the insulin producing cells of the pancreas. A hypothesis suggests that being born by caesarean section can affect the development of the immune system because babies are previously exposed to the bacteria of the environment in the hospital thatMaternal bacteria, "explains Chris Patterson, director of the study.

Ignacio Conget, of the Endocrinology and Diabetes Service of the Clinical Hospital of Barcelona, ​​believes that the authors' hypothesis is plausible."There is excess hygiene theory, in which the idea that the lack of exposure to pathogens is considered, as is currently the case in Western countries, embobates the immune system and makes it more vulnerable to its own antigens. Birth by caesarean section isThe most hygienic or sterile form of birth.The authors of meta -analysis believe that this difference in the composition of the baby's bacterial flora could increase the risk of type 1 diabetes.

In Spain around 10 new cases of type 1 diabetes are diagnosed per 100,000 inhabitants a year, most of them between the 10 and 12 years of age.In fact, more than 50% of new cases are diagnosed in pediatric age.20% more risk over 4,500 new annual cases in Spain is a figure too important to not consider the meta -analysis carried out by investigators from 10 European countries.Among other things because the number of caesarean sections does not stop growing.Motherhood delay has increased complications, but this factor does not explain that 25% of deliveries end in caesarean section.

Ignacio Conget acknowledges that the study ofKnow the biological mechanism that could explain the relationship between caesarean section and diabetes.Until that point is clarified, experts believe that it makes no sense to avoid caesarean section simply to avoid the increased risk of diabetes to the newborn.A different issue is that cesarean births must be limited to cases where this intervention is strictly necessary from the medical point of view.

Different studies in Western countries indicate that in an important part of the births that end in caesarean section are not strictly necessary and are made for reasons of organization or comfort.

With the need to study things from diabetes and get to do this ...: Twisted:

It seems to me a real bullshit ... and what the hell was passing years before, where the number of caesarean sections was much lower?

And why then do they debut at 10-12 years?

And those who have not been born by caesarean section and we debut with 30? What explanation is there?

One day I have to see how research in diabetes is coordinated ... although I fear the worst.

De los buenos tiempos, siempre quiero más...
Mamá de Ángela, ¡16 añitos, fiera!. Debut: octubre de 2003.
Bomba insulina Medtronic Paradigm Veo desde junio 2005
Última hemo 6.1

  

And I, who debuted with 19 and did not be born for Caesarea ... what is the explanation :?: ... and my mother cheated me (which is supposed to avoid the risk of diabetes) ... I am with you with youOwash ... If more will be said to investigate in improving the treatment ... since for what I believe there is no common denominator to "suffer diabetes" ... who touches us has touched us and period.

Well, Juan was born without caesarean section, and I cheered until 4 months ...
Those studies ... In Spain, surely those who have brown hair have 80% more possibilities of being diabetic, because I imagine that 80% of diabetics are morenos ...
In the end...

Noe was not born by caesarean section and was breastfeeding until 12 months and debuted at 22: Shock: ... in short, I say the same as you, apply more in other studies.

I also did not be part of the statistics, I was not born by caesarean section, I took chest hundred months and "debuted" with 37 years, type 1 diabetes, so do not tell me stories that I do not believe anything ...

Celia was born by caesarean section and is diabetic.

His older brother, Jaime, was born by caesarean section, and is not diabetic.

His second brother, Fernando, was born by caesarean section, and is not diabetic either.

I am sure that studies are now looking for various assholes.I explain myself.If two diabetics coincide in the 5th plant in the 5th floor, they are able to deduce that living on a 5th floor increases the risk of diabetes.

Why don't you stop speculating once and for time and dedicate themselves to study seriously, instead of "getting the tongue to Pacer" with so much memez?

It is clear that common sense remains the least common of the senses.

What a fabric with chorra studies !!!It is going to be that Ainhoa ​​does not enter the statistics, he was born by natural birth and took chest until the 13 months (by the way, Marcita even coincided :)))

Well, Angel also does not enter into these statistics, he was born in natural delivery, they didn't even put the epidural.The only thing they have is dizzy with tiny figures that are useless, at least they are not worth us.
