Profiles of disordered eating behaviour in type 1 diabetes using the DEPS‐R and behaviour and glycaemic outcomes in a real‐life setting
Authors' conclusion
There are common patterns of responses on the DEPS-R that appear to reflect different ED phenotypes. Profiles based on the DEPS-R corresponded with behaviour in the real-life setting as expected and were associated with different glycaemic outcomes. Results may have implications for the use of the DEPS-R in research and clinical settings.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T1D
- Exposure
- Disordered eating behaviour (DEB) profiles identified by latent class analysis of Diabetes Eating Problems Survey - Revised (DEPS-R)
- Outcome
- DEB profiles on DEPS-R
Methodological detailslatent class analysis, 3 days of at-home assessment in a real-life setting
- Latent class analysis
- 3 days of at-home assessment in a real-life setting
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Latent class analysis indicated a 4-class solution: Bulimia, Binge Eating, Overeating and Low Pathology
- Differences in binge eating, insulin restriction and glycaemic control between profiles during 3 days of at-home assessment
- Bulimia profile associated with highest HbA1c and 3-day mean blood glucose
Observational data: associations, not effects.
