Inflammation, adiposity, and progression of arterial stiffness in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: The SEARCH CVD Study

We examined the association between inflammation and progression of arterial stiffness in a population of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A total of 287 youth with T1D (median age 13 years) from SEARCH CVD, an ancillary study to the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth, were included. Markers of inflammat...

Description
Summary:We examined the association between inflammation and progression of arterial stiffness in a population of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A total of 287 youth with T1D (median age 13 years) from SEARCH CVD, an ancillary study to the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth, were included. Markers of inflammation (CRP, IL-6, fibrinogen, leptin, and adiponectin) and measures of pulse wave velocity (PWV) of the arm (PWV-R), trunk (PWV-T), and lower extremity (PWV-LE) were measured at baseline. Measures of PWV were repeated approximately five years later. PWV-R (0.50 m/s), PWV-T (0.65 m/s), and PWV-LE (1.0 m/s) significantly increased over the follow-up (p
