Endocrine Society ENDO 2026

During the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society (ENDO 2026) held in Chicago, Natalia Vázquez-Colón, representing the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, presented original research on the incidence of type 1 diabetes in adolescents aged 15 to 19 in Puerto Rico.

The results showed an upward trend in incidence during the 2009–2024 period. The analysis identified a significant average annual growth of 4.1%.

The research was conducted through a collaboration between the Institute of Statistics and the Pediatric Diabetes Foundation.  Participation in ENDO 2026 allowed for sharing scientific evidence generated in Puerto Rico with a highly prestigious national and international audience of researchers, academics, and clinicians.
