Background: Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) has been shown to be a suitable predictor of cardiovascular risk.
Objective and hypotheses: We aimed to investigate factors influencing non-HDL-C levels in children with type 1diabetes (T1D, registered at the German/Austrian DPV database, n=26358) in order to increase the rare use of lipid-lowering therapies. Recommendations for acceptable (<120 mg/dl), borderline-high (120–139 mg/dl), and high (≧140 mg/dl) non-HDL-C levels in children at high cardiovascular risk were considered.
Results: Non-HDL-C levels were generally higher in children aged >10 years than ≤10 years and also higher in females than in males. Non-HDL-C levels increased with worsening glycaemic control, elevated non-HDL-C levels and age. The rate of non-HDL-C levels ≧120 mg/dl was more than 25% and of levels ≧140 mg/dl still 10%, irrespective of glycaemic control, weight, age, and gender. However, the rate of non-HDL-C levels ≧140 mg/dl was even 25% in overweight girls aged >10 years.
Conclusion: Considering the non-HDL-C treatment goal <120 mg/dl for children with diabetes-related high cardiovascular risk, it can be assumed that more than a quarter of children with T1D require intensified lifestyle interventions. Further 10% of all T1D children and even 25% of overweight adolescent girls need immediate lipid-lowering treatment in parallel with lifestyle changes, because there is no reasonable perspective of reaching their non-HDL-C goal by improved glycaemic control or weight loss alone.
