Abstract

The proportion of autoimmune pathology increases along with urbanization. A cohort retrospective prospective study was performed to analyze the prevalence of type I diabetes mellitus in 83 regions of the Russian Federation during the period from 2008 to 2017 and the influence of urbanization factors on type I diabetes mellitus incidence. The main urbanistic factor obtained during mathematical modeling contributing to the development and distribution of the incidence of type I diabetes mellitus is air pollution with solid dust particles, namely air emissions from the stationary sources, highways density and the number of buses. The urbanization factors are controlled and, therefore, many of the adverse effects on human health can be prevented by using organizational and methodological recommendations as well as new regulations on air pollutants.
