Abstract
AIMS
Social determinants of health (SDOH) influence cardiovascular health in the general population; however, the degree to which this occurs in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not well understood. We evaluated associations among socioeconomic deprivation and cardiometabolic risk factors (hemoglobin A1c, low-density lipoprotein, blood pressure, body mass index, physical activity) in individuals with T1D from the T1D Clinic Exchange Registry.
METHODS
We evaluated the association between the social deprivation index (SDI) and cardiometabolic risk factors using multivariable and logistic regression among 18,754 participants ages 13 - 90 years (mean 29.2 ± 17) in the T1D Exchange clinic registry from 6,320 zip code tabulation areas (2007-2017).
RESULTS
SDI was associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors even after adjusting for covariates (age, biological sex, T1D duration, and race/ethnicity) in the multivariable linear regression models. Those in the highest socially deprived areas had 1.69 (unadjusted) and 1.78 (adjusted) times odds of a triple concomitant risk burden of poor glycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS
Persistent SDOH differences could account for a substantial degree of poor achievement of cardiometabolic targets in individuals with T1D. Our results suggest the need for a broader framework to understand the association between T1D and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes.
