Dyslipidemia affects 65.4% of young individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and higher glycated hemoglobin directly correlates with lipid deterioration.
Elevated total cholesterol and triglycerides represent the most frequent alterations, with 42.0% showing two or more abnormal lipid markers (N=81).
A cross-sectional observational study evaluated 81 patients aged 4 to 19 years, assessing glycemic control, maturation, and serum lipid concentrations.
Highlights reinforce regular monitoring of dyslipidemia and early intervention for pediatric diabetes cases, especially those displaying poor glycemic control.
