Figure 11.1 -- 
Line graph showing that the incidence of type 1 diabetes in children less than 14 years of age has been increasing since at least the 1950s.

Figure 11.2 -- 
Flow chart showing that genetic susceptibility, persistent autoantibodies, and unknown environmental factors all influence the development of type 1 diabetes.

Figure 11.3 -- 
Forest plots showing that the frequency of enterovirus R N A from patients with type 1 diabetes was widely varied but frequency varied little among healthy controls.

Figure 11.4
 -- Forest plot showing that higher omega-3 fatty acid intake during childhood was associated with a lower risk of islet autoimmunity.

Figure 11.5 -- 
Forest plot showing that alpha-linolenic acid was significantly more protective for islet autoimmunity in the presence of the increasing number of minor alleles for F A D S 1 and F A D S 2.
