How effectively preventable cardiovascular disease risk factors such as elevated LDL cholesterol are being mitigated in a real-world U.S. type 1 diabetes population is not well understood, and the demographic factors that are independently associated with elevated LDL cholesterol in this population are not well defined. More than one-third of older adult patients with type 1 diabetes in this real-world database had elevated LDL cholesterol. Female sex, Medicaid insurance, and younger age were independently associated with elevated LDL cholesterol.
