May warrant sex-specific cIMT percentiles in pediatric T1D; leaves open prospective validation of risk stratification.
Cross-Sectional (n=270)
In pediatric type 1 diabetes, cIMT is significantly higher in males and is associated with diabetes duration and specific risk factors rather than age, highlighting the need for sex-specific percentiles.
Krebs et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 1 diabetes (n=270). Male sex vs. Female sex was evaluated on Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). Male sex was associated with significantly higher carotid intima-media thickness compared to females in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes.
