This study examined nonverbal intelligence and scholastic achievement in children with type 1 diabetes. In a retrospective case-control study, 69 children (35 males) ages 5-10 years with type 1 diabetes and 69 healthy controls matched to patients by age, gender and socioeconomic status were compared according to their performance on Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices and their scholastic grades. No differences in nonverbal intelligence and grades were observed between children with type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects. Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices scores inversely correlated with duration of illness both in children with early onset of type 1 diabetes and poor metabolic control. Possible explanations of the results and implications are discussed.
本研究探讨了 1 型糖尿病儿童的非言语智力和学业成绩。在一项回顾性病例对照研究中，比较了 69 名年龄在 5-10 岁的 1 型糖尿病儿童（35 名男性）和 69 名与患者按年龄、性别和社会经济地位相匹配的健康对照组在瑞文彩色渐进矩阵和学业成绩上的表现。1 型糖尿病儿童和健康对照组在非言语智力和成绩方面无差异。瑞文彩色渐进矩阵得分与疾病持续时间呈负相关，无论是在 1 型糖尿病发病早且代谢控制差的儿童中。讨论了结果的可能解释和影响。
