Highly Uncontrolled Cardiovascular Risk in Emerging Adults With Paediatric‐Onset Type 1 Diabetes—A Cross‐Sectional Analysis From the Diabetes Prospective Follow‐Up Registry DPV

Key Points

To examine cardiovascular risk factors and their association with complications in young adults with pediatric-onset type 1 diabetes.
Conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Diabetes Prospective Follow-Up Registry (DPV).
Evaluated modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Analyzed the relationship between risk factors and microvascular complications.
Young adults exhibited a high burden of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Significant treatment gaps were identified in this population.
Clustering of risk factors was linked to an increased presence of microvascular complications.

Abstract

Young adults with paediatric-onset T1DM show a high burden of modifiable CVD risk factors with substantial treatment gaps, and clustering is associated with microvascular complications. Early identification and targeted intervention are critical to mitigating long-term vascular damage.
