Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in children with type I diabetes: Part 1.
Diabetes is a major risk factor for premature morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities in many populations with diabetes has been observed, minimal data exist regarding the distribution, correlates, and determinants of lipid levels of children with diabetes. Early identification of hyperlipidemia and other CVD risk factors is requisite to timely and specific nursing interventions. Part 1 of this two part series will discuss the lipid profile, the link between cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and physiological risk factors for CVD in children with diabetes.
