Age at onset was categorized as &amp;lt;7 years, 7 to &amp;lt;13 years, and 13 to &amp;lt;16 years. Incidence rates and hazard ratios (HR), with 95% CI, for the risk of complications, were calculated from multivariable Cox regression models by 1) duration of diabetes 0 to &amp;lt;20 years and 2) attained age of 16\u201334 years, with HR adjusted for diagnosis year, sociodemographics, and acute diabetes complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 5,202 people identified, 1,694 (32.6%) were diagnosed at age &amp;lt;7 years, 2,538 (48.8%) age 7 to &amp;lt;13 years, and 970 (18.6%) age 13 to &amp;lt;16 years. Within 20 years of onset, incidence ranged from 9.2 per 10,000 person-years (95% CI 7.2, 11.7) for cardiac complications to 53.4 per 10,000 person-years (95% CI 48.2, 59.0) for kidney complications. Diabetes onset at age &amp;lt;7 years (vs. 13 to &amp;lt;16 years) was associated with lower 20-year risk of complications, except lower-limb infections; cardiac adjusted HR (aHR) was 0.32 (95% CI 0.15, 0.66), severe retinopathy aHR was 0.25 (0.17, 0.36), lower-limb vascular complications aHR was 0.41 (0.24, 0.69), peripheral neuropathy aHR was 0.16 (0.08, 0.32), and kidney complications aHR was 0.40 (0.30, 0.53).
