Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in children with type I diabetes: Part II.
Diabetes is a major risk factor for premature morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). In Part I of this two part series, physiologic risk factors for cardiovascular disease in children with diabetes were presented. In Part II lifestyle CVD risk factors in children with diabetes will be discussed. Dietary factors, smoking behavior, and activity level are the risk factors most amenable to intervention. Two case studies are included to show clinical application of the data presented.
