To examine the effect of type 1 diabetes on academic performance.
Ethnically Saudi students with type 1 diabetes, and age, sex, ethnicity and socio-economic status-matched nondiabetic control students were recruited from eight schools. Overall academic grades were recorded, based on the scores obtained in written examinations in English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and humanities.
Students with type 1 diabetes (n = 36) obtained significantly lower academic grades compared with their nondiabetic control classmates (n = 36) (86.58 ± 1.48 vs 90.62 ± 1.36).
Overall academic performance is significantly lower in students with type 1 diabetes compared with their nondiabetic classmates. This decline in academic performance may be explained by an association between diabetes and cognitive function.
研究1型糖尿病对学业成绩的影响。
从八所学校招募了患有1型糖尿病的沙特族学生,以及年龄、性别、种族和社会经济地位相匹配的非糖尿病对照学生。根据英语、数学、物理、化学、生物和人文学科笔试成绩记录总体学业成绩。
与非糖尿病对照同学(n = 36)相比,患有1型糖尿病的学生(n = 36)的学业成绩显著更低(86.58 ± 1.48对90.62 ± 1.36)。
与非糖尿病同学相比,患有1型糖尿病的学生总体学业成绩显著更低。学业成绩的下降可能是由糖尿病与认知功能之间的关联所解释的。
