Adolescents with severe obesity show a higher cardiovascular (CV) risk than those with type 1 diabetes: a study with skin advanced glycation end products and intima media thickness evaluation

ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that our adolescents with severe obesity carry a much higher CV risk than adolescents with T1D unless in bad metabolic control. Apart from lower sAGE levels, most of the variables considered to define CV risk were higher in the obese group than in the T1D group. Gender seems to have a significant impact on sAGE levels but not on IMT.
