	Progressors	Nonprogressors
Gender (girls, boys)	31, 25	40, 33
City of birth (Turku, Oulu)	29, 27	45, 28
Season at time of birth^{^a} (winter, spring, summer, autumn)	11, 19, 14, 12	15, 25, 19, 14
Season at time of diagnosis (winter, spring, summer, autumn)	11, 21, 10, 13	NA
Age at time of diagnosis (median, range in months)	44, 6–162	NA
Age at time of first seroconversion (median, range in months)	12, 6–96	NA

Seasons are defined as winter for December to February, spring for March to May, summer for June to August, and autumn for September to November.

HLA genotype information is shown for the DIPP children only. One nonprogressor, not included in the table, had the moderate risk DR3-DQ2/x haplotype.
