Open publisher page 79 citations

Abstract

SUMMARY. —A study has been made on the incidence of vitiligo in mature‐onset diabetics attending hospital. An increased incidence of vitiligo was found in the whole group of diabetics, and in the female diabetics, when compared with controls. In more than half the patients with both vitiligo and diabetes, the vitiligo preceded the diabetes. Vitiligo begins before the age of 40 in over 80% of all cases but did so in only 24% of 25 diabetics with vitiligo.
