The association of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol with elevated arterial stiffness in adolescents and young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study

Aim Our aim was to explore the relationship of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) with subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in youth with T1D and T2D.

Method We included 1376 youth with T1D and 157 with T2D from the SEARCH study. CVD risk factors including LDL-C, waist to height ratio...
