Why the study?
Do obesity and T1DM impair endothelial and smooth muscle function in children compared to nonobese controls?
Do obesity and T1DM impair endothelial and smooth muscle function in children compared to nonobese controls?
Obesity and T1DM are associated with a similar degree of vascular dysfunction in children, with BMI and glucose levels relating to vascular function even within normal ranges.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May indicate early vascular impairment in obese/T1DM children; leaves open causal links and need for longitudinal outcome studies.
Peña et al. (2006) studied this question.
