Disparities in cardiovascular health in young adults with type 1 diabetes
PROJECT SUMMARY Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and abnormalities preceding overt CVD (left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction) are more prevalent in T1D as early as childhood. Disparities in CVD and its risk factors within T1D according to the social construct of race/ethnicity are concerning, especially given rising incidence of T1D specifically in non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic youth. Such youth are more likely to have elevated weight, blood pressure, lipids, and glycemia than non-Hispanic White (NHW) youth from T1D diagnosis onward, and NHB individuals experience twice the CVD mortality and 8 times the…
