This study aims to assess the impact of screen time on cardiometabolic risk factors in youth with type 1 diabetes.
Conducted a cross-sectional study involving 511 children and youth aged 2–21 years with T1D.
Collected data on demographics, clinical factors, dietary habits, activity levels, and self-reported screen time.
Measured anthropometry, body composition, blood pressure, and biochemical markers using standardized methods.
48% of participants reported screen time of 2 hours or more per day.
Boys with increased screen time had higher fat percentage, fat mass, fat Z-scores, and systolic blood pressure.
Girls with higher screen time also showed increased fat percentage and fat mass, with strong correlations to systolic blood pressure.
