(1) Background: This multi-center study aimed to identify a risk profile for disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) based on their dietary intake, lipid profile, body mass index (BMI-SDS), and glycometabolic control. (2) Methods: Adolescents aged 11 to 18 years from five centers across Italy were recruited. Lipid profile, HbA1c, BMI-SDS, and dietary intake data were collected. The risk for developing DEBs was assessed via the Diabetes Eating Problems Survey-R (DEPS-R) questionnaire. A latent class analysis (LCA) was performed using a person-centered approach. (3) Results: Overall, 148 participants aged 11-18 (12.1, ±3.34), 52% males with a mean diabetes duration of 7.2 (±3.4), were enrolled. Based on the results of the DEBS-R score, LCA allowed us to highlight two different classes of patients which were defined as "at-risk" and "not at-risk" for DEB. The risk profile for developing DEBs is characterized by higher BMI-SDS (23.9 vs. 18.6), higher HbA1c (7.9 vs. 7.1%), higher LDL cholesterol (99.9 vs. 88.8 mg/dL), lower HDL cholesterol (57.9 vs. 61.3 mg/dL), higher proteins (18.2 vs. 16.1%), and lower carbohydrates (43.9 vs. 45.3%). Adolescents included in the "at-risk" class were significantly older ( = 0.000), and their parents' SES was significantly lower ( = 0.041). (4) Conclusions: This study allowed us to characterize a risk profile for DEBs based on dietary behavior and clinical parameters. Early identification of the risk for DEBs allows timely intervention and prevention of behavior disorders.
(1) 背景:本多中心研究旨在根据意大利五个中心的青少年 1 型糖尿病(T1D)患者的饮食摄入、血脂谱、体重指数(BMI-SDS)和血糖代谢控制情况,确定其发生饮食相关行为障碍(DEBs)的风险特征。(2) 方法:招募了年龄在 11 至 18 岁的青少年。收集了血脂谱、HbA1c、BMI-SDS 和饮食摄入数据。使用基于个体的方法通过糖尿病饮食问题调查-R (DEPS-R)问卷评估发生 DEBs 的风险。采用潜在类别分析(LCA)。(3) 结果:共纳入 148 名年龄在 11-18 岁(12.1±3.34)、52%为男性的参与者,平均糖尿病病程为 7.2(±3.4)年。根据 DEBS-R 评分结果,LCA 允许我们突出两个不同的患者群体,即“有风险”和“无风险”的 DEB。发生 DEBs 的风险特征是 BMI-SDS 更高(23.9 vs. 18.6)、HbA1c 更高(7.9 vs. 7.1%)、LDL 胆固醇更高(99.9 vs. 88.8mg/dL)、HDL 胆固醇更低(57.9 vs. 61.3mg/dL)、蛋白质更高(18.2 vs. 16.1%)和碳水化合物更低(43.9 vs. 45.3%)。归入“有风险”类别的青少年明显更年长(=0.000),其父母的社会经济地位明显更低(=0.041)。(4) 结论:本研究能够根据饮食行为和临床参数对 DEBs 的风险特征进行描述。早期识别 DEBs 的风险有助于及时干预和预防行为障碍。
