Key result
Longer diabetes duration, higher HbA1c, older age, female sex, higher diastolic BP, and lower BMI were significantly associated with microalbuminuria (4.4% overall prevalence; P≤0.01 for each).

What factors are associated with clinical microalbuminuria in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes?
p-value: p=≤ 0.01
In children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, poor glycemic and blood pressure control, along with longer disease duration and older age, are strongly associated with the presence of microalbuminuria.
Daniels et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Type 1 Diabetes (n=7,549). Clinical and demographic factors (diabetes duration, HbA1c, age, sex, BP, BMI) was evaluated on Clinical microalbuminuria (MA) diagnosis (p=≤ 0.01). Longer diabetes duration, higher HbA1c, older age, female sex, higher diastolic BP, and lower BMI were significantly associated with microalbuminuria (4.4% overall prevalence; P≤0.01 for each).
