Study reveals link between childhood obesity and type-1 diabetes
01 Jul 2009
The continued growth of childhood obesity is leading to a rise in the number of youngsters suffering from type-1 diabetes, a new study has concluded.
While a number of previous studies have established a firm link between being overweight and developing type-2 diabetes, so far relatively little has been known about the correlation between obesity and type-1 diabetes, which is more common among children and young adults.
Now, scientists working across the United States have found a strong link between obesity and the prevalence of the condition among three-to-19 year-olds.
According to the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study Group, which has published its findings in the online journal Pediatric Diabetics, over one in five of youngsters with type-1 diabetes were found to be overweight, compared with just ten per cent of those suffering from type-2 diabetes and 16 per cent with neither form of the condition.
Furthermore, a greater proportion of males tend to be overweight than females under the age of 11, while between the ages of 11 and 19, this trend is reversed, with cases of type-1 diabetes rising accordingly, the study also found.
However, study leader Dr Lenna Liu from Seattle Children's Hospital, US, noted that more research needs to be carried out in order to allow for improved diagnosis and treatment of youngsters suffering from diabetes.
