Prevalence of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Children with Type 1 Diabetes: A comparative assessment based on criteria established by WHO, IDF and NCEP

Conclusion: Obesity prevalence of our T1D cohort is similar to healthy population in the same ages. Prevalence of MetS is higher in children and adolescents with T1D compared to the obese population in our country. Our study suggests that IDF criteria are more suitable for the diagnosis of MetS in children and adolescents with T1D. PMID: 31434460 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
