Growth data in large series of 587 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Discordant data were found in recent growth studies in children with type-1 diabetes mellitus. This study focuses on growth data and final height in the largest cohort of diabetic children studied so far. 7598 growth data collected in a longitudinal/cross sectional way between 1971 and 1996 in 587 d...

Zusammenfassung:Discordant data were found in recent growth studies in children with type-1 diabetes mellitus. This study focuses on growth data and final height in the largest cohort of diabetic children studied so far. 7598 growth data collected in a longitudinal/cross sectional way between 1971 and 1996 in 587 diabetic subjects (317 males, 270 females) were available for analysis of height and BMI, together with 3889 HbA1c measurements. Final height data were correlated with target height in 123 subjects. The individual growth and BMI linear regression curve of each patient was compared to growth standards and correlated with HbA1c. Children of both sexes were taller at the first observation (males, SDS 0.15 +/- 1.10, mean +/- SD, P=0.02, females, SDS 0.74 +/- 1.46, P
