Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of higher and earlier morbidity and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to people without diabetes. In addition, women with T1D are at an even higher relative risk for CVD than men. However, the underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. Atherosclerotic changes are known to progress early in life among people with T1D, yet it is less clear when excess CVD risk begins in females with T1D. This review explores the prevalence of classical CVD risk factors (such as glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, albuminuria, smoking, diet, physical inactivity), as well as of novel biomarkers (such as chronic inflammation), in children and adolescents with T1D with particular regard to sex-related differences in risk profile. We also summarize gaps where further research and clearer clinical guidance are needed to better address this issue. Considering that girls with T1D might have a more adverse CVD risk profile than boys, the early identification of and sex-specific intervention in T1D would have the potential to reduce later CVD morbidity and excess mortality in females with T1D. To conclude, based on an extensive review of the existing literature, we found a clear difference between boys and girls with T1D in the presence of individual CVD risk factors as well as in overall CVD risk profiles; the girls were on the whole more impacted.

Pathways of emotional autonomy, problem-solving ability, self-efficacy, and self-management on the glycemic control of adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A prospective study. Res Nurs Health 2021; 44:643-652. [PMID: 34125441 DOI: 10.1002/nur.22162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
This prospective study tested a model to depict associations between a number of individual characteristics and 6-month glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Adolescents (N = 232) aged 10-19 years with T1D were recruited from a medical center in Taiwan. Demographic characteristics, emotional autonomy, problem-solving ability, self-efficacy at baseline, and self-management information three months after baseline were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. HbA1c levels 6 months after study commencement were obtained from medical records. Structural equation modeling was used to test the model. Higher baseline self-efficacy and self-management at 3 months were directly associated with lower 6-month HbA1c levels. Higher baseline problem-solving ability and self-efficacy were directly associated with higher 3-month self-management, and higher baseline problem-solving ability was directly associated with higher baseline self-efficacy. Higher baseline emotional autonomy was directly associated with lower 6-month HbA1c levels but indirectly associated with higher 6-month HbA1c levels through the mediation of lower problem-solving ability, self-efficacy, and 3-month self-management. Findings indicate that improving self-management is essential to improving subsequent glycemic control, which might be achieved by enhancing problem-solving ability and self-efficacy. Strengthening problem-solving ability could diminish the negative impact of emotional autonomy on subsequent glycemic control in adolescents with T1D.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Eating disorders represent one of the most common psychiatric disorders in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), with a prevalence twice as high as in individuals without diabetes. The increased risk for acute and long-term medical complications and a three-fold mortality rate with this dual condition makes it extremely important to screen adolescents for eating disorders as soon as possible. RECENT FINDINGS A number of 13 surveys in the last two years focussed on prevalence rates of disordered eating and associations with sociodemographic, eating disorder-specific and diabetes-related factors in this population. Variations in study design, sample size, age range, sex, instruments to assess eating disorders and outcome make comparisons difficult. Healthcare professionals report challenges in detecting and treating adolescents with this dual condition because of a lack of validated screening tools, guidelines, and integration across specialist care. Studies on psychological treatments for the comorbidity of eating disorders and T1DM are scarce, especially for adolescents. SUMMARY The development and evaluation of psychological treatments for adolescents with eating disorders and T1DM are urgently needed.

Associations Between Quality of Life, Psychosocial Well-being and Health-Related Behaviors Among Adolescents in Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Thai and the Filipino Populations: A Cross-Sectional Survey. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17072402. [PMID: 32244727 PMCID: PMC7177547 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17072402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 03/26/2020] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Health-related behaviors during adolescence have lifelong impacts. However, there are unclear areas regarding the associations between health-related quality of life and demographic characteristics, as well as physical and psychosocial indicators. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between quality of life and body weight, sleep outcome, social support by age, and cohabitants, given that income, self-esteem, lifestyle, emotional, social and behavioral problems were taken into account among adolescents in East and Southeast Asia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Zhengzhou of China, Hong Kong, Kansai region of Japan, Taipei of Taiwan, Bangkok of Thailand and Manila of the Philippines between 2016 and 2017 among 21,359 urban adolescents aged between 9 and 16. The results showed that adolescents who had better self-esteem and control of emotions and behaviors had much higher level of perceived quality of life. Those who were overweight or obese, sleepy in the daytime, and not living with parents had worse quality of life compared with those who were not. In conclusion, psychosocial well-being should have a higher priority in the promotion of quality of life among Asian adolescents. Nevertheless, further studies are required to explore the differences in perceived quality of life between genders and countries.

Sociodemographic associations of longitudinal adiposity in youth with type 1 diabetes. Pediatr Diabetes 2018; 19:1429-1440. [PMID: 30129111 PMCID: PMC6249094 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.12753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2018] [Revised: 08/07/2018] [Accepted: 08/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Excess adiposity is common in youth with type 1 diabetes, yet little is known about the sociodemographic factors that predict longitudinal trajectories of body fat. We analyzed data from 363 females and 379 males with type 1 diabetes over ~9 years of follow-up (mean baseline age 12.8 ± 2.3 years in females, 13.2 ± 2.4 years in males). Estimated body fat percentage (eBFP) was calculated with validated sex- and race/ethnicity-specific equations. Group-based modeling identified three eBFP trajectories for each sex. All female trajectories showed gradual increases, while male trajectories showed gradual decreases (<5% in eBFP) that plateaued around 7 years of diabetes duration. Female trajectories showed differences in baseline eBFP: Group F1 (38.0%), mean eBFP 27.8 ± 3.0%: Group F2 (47.9%), mean eBFP 33.9 ± 3.0%: and Group F3 (14.1%), mean eBFP 41.7 ± 4.1%. Male trajectories also showed differences in baseline eBFP: Group M1 (57.2%), mean eBFP 22.0 ± 3.0%: Group M2 (30.9%), mean eBFP 33.9 ± 3.0%: and Group M3 (12.9%), mean eBFP 36.1 ± 3.7%. In multinomial models, adjusted for clinical factors (eg, insulin regimen, insulin dose, and hemoglobin A1c), females who reported a single-parent household (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49, 7.47), parental education of less than a college degree (aOR = 3.79, 95% CI: 1.60, 9.60), and a lack of private health insurance (aOR = 3.74, 95% CI: 1.45, 9.60), and a household income of less than $75 000 per year (aOR = 3.13, 95% CI: 1.27, 7.70) were approximately three to four times more likely to be in the highest eBFP trajectory group relative to the lowest eBFP trajectory group. Males who reported a household income of <$75 000/year were almost twice as likely to be in the Group M3 than the Group M1 in the unadjusted model only (aOR = 1.79, 95% CI: 0.91, 4.01 vs unadjusted OR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.22, 5.06). Lower socioeconomic status may be associated with excess body fat throughout adolescence in type 1 diabetes, particularly among females.

Abstract
Diabetes (DM) as well as obesity, due to their increasing incidence, were recognized as epidemic by the World Health Organization. Obesity is involved not only in the aetiopathogenesis of the most common worldwide type of DM-type 2 diabetes-but also in the development of its complications. There is also increasing scientific evidence regarding the role of obesity and overweight in type 1 diabetes. Weight gain may be considered as a complication of insulin treatment but also reveals significant pathophysiological impact on various stages of the disease. Another very important aspect related to DM as well as obesity is the microbiome, which is highly variable. The function of the gut microflora, its interaction with the whole organism, and its role in the development of obesity and type 1 diabetes as well as type 2 diabetes are still not fully understood and subject of ongoing investigations. This review presents a summary of recently published results concerning the relation of obesity/overweight and DM as well as their associations with the microbiome.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between self-reported color/race and genomic ancestry with HRQoL of patients with type 1 diabetes in a highly admixed population. METHODS This was a nationwide, cross-sectional study conducted with 1760 patients with type 1 diabetes from 2011 to 2014 at public clinics in all five Brazilian geographical regions. Information on HRQoL was obtained from two self-completed questionnaires: Short Form-6 Dimensions (SF-6D) and EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) with a visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS). Genomic ancestry was assessed using a Multiplex PCR methodology. Utility scores generated from the questionnaires were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS We included 1698 patients. Those patients who self-reported as black had lower EQ-VAS scores compared to the patients who self-reported as white (67.46 ± 18.45; 72.37 ± 16.44, respectively, p = 0.02). In a linear regression model, each 1% increase in African ancestry resulted in a 9.5 point decrease in EQ-VAS score (p < 0.001). In a multivariate logistic regression, after adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic status and diabetes-related variables, African ancestry remained associated with lower EQ-VAS scores. CONCLUSION A higher level of African ancestry implicates on lower quality of life even after adjustments for sociodemographic and diabetes-related data. Gender, physical activity and diabetes-related microvascular complications were strongly associated with low HRQoL in all three questionnaires used. This fact highlights the importance of social aspects when assessing quality of life, as well as the need for regular practice of physical activity and prevention of chronic complications to improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Aims No current clinical guidelines focus on weight management in youth with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Our aim was to characterize the patient-perceived experience and barriers to weight management in youth with T1DM. Methods Participants were recruited from the University of North Carolina (n = 16, 56% female, 60% White, 50% insulin pump users, mean age 14.8 years, mean HbA1c 8.5% (69 mmol/mol)) and the University of Colorado (n = 18, 50% female, 80% white, 53% pump users, mean age 15.3 years, mean HbA1c 9.3% (78 mmol/mol)). Focus groups were stratified by sex and weight status (BMI cutoff = 25). Discussions were guided by a standardized set of questions, audio-taped, transcribed, and analyzed thematically using inductive qualitative methods. Results Youth with T1DM expressed four interrelated themes of antagonism between type 1 diabetes and weight management: dysregulated appetite, disruption of blood glucose levels associated with changing diet/exercise, hypoglycemia as a barrier to weight loss, and the overwhelming nature of dual management of weight and glycemic control, and two interrelated themes of synergism: improvement in shared, underlying heath behaviors and exercise as a tool for weight and glycemic control. Variation in emphasis of specific thematic elements was greatest across sex. Youth identified five major components of a weight management program for T1DM: intensified glucose management, healthy diet with known carbohydrate content, exercise, individualization and flexibility, and psychosocial and peer support. Conclusions There is critical need for personalized, T1DM-specific weight recommendations to overcome disease-specific barriers to weight management in the context of T1DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to summarize the type 1 diabetes (T1D) and weight literature with an emphasis on barriers associated with weight management, the unique T1D-specific factors that impact weight loss success, maladaptive and adaptive strategies for weight loss, and interventions to promote weight loss. RECENT FINDINGS Weight gain is associated with intensive insulin therapy. Overweight and obese weight status in individuals with T1D is higher than the general population and prevalence is rising. A variety of demographic (e.g., female sex), clinical (e.g., greater insulin needs), environmental (e.g., skipping meals), and psychosocial (e.g., depression, stress) factors are associated with overweight/obese weight status in T1D. Fear of hypoglycemia is a significant barrier to engagement in physical activity. Studies evaluating adaptive weight loss strategies in people with T1D are limited. There is a growing literature highlighting the prevalence and seriousness of overweight and obesity among both youth and adults with T1D. There is an urgent need to develop evidence-based weight management guidelines and interventions that address the unique concerns of individuals with T1D and that concurrently address glycemic control.

Abstract
AIMS To describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to examine the associations among socio-demographic, clinical, and self-management factors by weight status. METHODS We analyzed baseline data obtained from 5529 adolescents with T1D (mean age=15.4±1.4years, 51.8% male, 77.9% white, mean HbA1c=8.7±1.8%; 72mmol/mol) from the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry. We examined correlates of weight status using multinomial logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Overweight (22.9%) and obesity (13.1%) were prevalent in the overall sample and was highest among girls (40.8%) and adolescents of Hispanic/Latino race/ethnicity (46.1%). Female gender, older age, annual household income <$35,000 (vs. ≥$200,000), high school parental educational attainment (vs. ≥graduate degree), lower HbA1c, longer duration of T1D, higher amount of insulin, and a recent visit with an allied healthcare provider were independently and significantly associated with higher odds of overweight or obesity. Adolescents who self-rated their health as fair/poor (vs. excellent) had the highest odds of obesity (OR 3.92, 95% CI 2.53-6.06). CONCLUSIONS Overweight/obesity is prevalent among adolescents with T1D, especially among girls and those of diverse race/ethnicity. Some of these factors may be amenable to remediation and point to subgroups that can benefit from obesity prevention and management efforts.
