Modifiable lifestyle risk factors for overweight and obesity in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review
Authors' conclusion
Overall, the findings infer relationships between DEB, fat and carbohydrate intake and adiposity outcomes in people with T1D.
Study context
- Population
- Children and adolescents (<18 years) with T1D; 13 studies included adolescents up to 19 years37 studies
- Outcome
- Associations between modifiable lifestyle risk factors (diet, disordered eating, physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours) and measures of adiposity
Methodological detailsLiterature search of medical databases from 1990 to 2023
- Literature search of medical databases from 1990 to 2023
Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
Associations of lifestyle factors with adiposity
- Higher adiposity positively associated with disordered eating behaviours (DEB) in adolescents with T1D
- Higher adiposity positively associated with higher than recommended total fat and lower carbohydrate intake
- Small amount of evidence: positive association with skipping meals; negative associations with diet quality and sleep stage
- No published associations between overweight and physical activity, sedentary behaviours and eating disorders
- Studies mostly cross-sectional (89 %)
