Abstract

Introduction

High prevalence of dyslipidaemia in children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes (T1D) places them at increased risk of developing atherosclerosis leading to mortality caused by cardiovascular disease(CVD). Thus, screening for fasting blood lipids when diabetes is stabilized in children aged 11 years and above is routinely recommended with follow-up every 5 years.

Objectives

(1) To characterize the lipid profile of children and adolescents with respect to diabetes duration. (2) To describe longitudinal changes in lipid profile over a 5-year period in patients with T1D.

Methods

This longitudinal 5-year follow-up study included 112 patients with T1D aged 3–18 years. Demographic data, anthropometry and laboratory measurements were performed using standard protocols at baseline and endline. P value < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results

The prevalence of dyslipidaemia in our study was 49.5% with abnormal LDL as the most frequently deranged parameter. Duration of illness played a major role in deterioration of lipid profile mediated by triglyceride and VLDL. Duration of illness and fibre intake in diet significantly predicted the change in lipid profile which were driven by triglycerides and VLDL. Glycemic control, insulin sensitivity and serum TSH also significantly altered components of lipid profile with no impact on overall dyslipidaemia. A total of 6.5% subjects had LDL concentrations >130 mg/dl and the same proportion had non-HDL cholesterol concentrations >145 mg/dl at baseline while at endline, 11.9% subjects had LDL concentrations >130 mg/dl and 15.6% subjects had non-HDL cholesterol concentrations >145 mg/dl. 28.6% subjects with LDL > 130 mg/dl and non-HDL cholesterol >145 mg/dl at baseline had persistently elevated concentrations while 10.3% and 14.4% additional subjects developed elevated LDL and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations respectively during the study period.

Conclusions

The deterioration of lipid profile in T1D, due to increase in disease duration was chiefly mediated by increase in serum triglyceride and VLDL concentrations which may be prevented by improving glycaemic control, insulin sensitivity and fibre intake in diet.
