Key result
In long-surviving patients with type 1 diabetes, the presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with significantly increased carotid artery intima media thickness (P=0.003).
Why the study?
Does the presence of metabolic syndrome increase carotid artery IMT in long-surviving patients with type 1 diabetes?
Population
156 long-surviving patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM for >18 years, attending clinic for >10 years)
Comparison
Presence of metabolic syndrome or its features vs Absence of metabolic syndrome
Design
Cross-sectional

Metabolic syndrome may mark higher atherosclerosis risk in long-surviving type 1 diabetes; leaves open causal role and need for prospective trials.
Observational (n=156)
Does the presence of metabolic syndrome increase carotid artery IMT in long-surviving patients with type 1 diabetes?
p-value: p=0.003
In long-surviving patients with type 1 diabetes, the development of metabolic syndrome is associated with increased carotid artery IMT, indicating a higher risk of atherosclerosis.
Distiller et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Type 1 diabetes (n=156). Metabolic syndrome vs. Without metabolic syndrome was evaluated on Carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) (p=0.003). In long-surviving patients with type 1 diabetes, the presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with significantly increased carotid artery intima media thickness (P=0.003).
