... tic size such as pancreatic head, pancreatic body, and pancreatic tail have been measured. The statistical analysis was performed using MedCalc. Results: The results show that the mean age was 37 years in the control group, the mean age was 50 years in the NIDDM group, and the mean age was ten years in the IDDM group. 37% were women, and 63% were men in the control sample. Although 36.4% were females and 63.6% in the IDDM community were males. Fifty-two percent were women, and in the NIDDM, 47 percent were men. Conclusion: Pancreatic size shows a decrease in type1DM and type2DM as compared to the control group. T1DM shows more noticeable changes compared to T2DM. logia 29.5 (1986): 267-274. 23.
