Glucose-independent association of adiposity and diet composition with cardiovascular risk in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes

To test the hypothesis that diet composition, adiposity and glycometabolic control could independently contribute to an increase in the cardiovascular risk (CVR) for children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). One hundred and eighty children/adolescents with T1D (age range 5–18 years) were enrolled.
