Objectives: Bone health is affected in Type-1-Diabetis (T1D) causing higher risk of hip fractures, prolonged fracture healing and altered bone mineral density (BMD). In T1D adults BMD is found to be decreased. In this study we have measured the BMD in children and adolescents from the Copenhagen Pediatric T1D Cohort.Methods: 276 children and adolescents (131 girls) were included from the diabetes outpatient clinic at Herlev University Hospital. All patie...

Introduction: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) has an increased risk of bone fragility, low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and low trauma fractures leading to increased pain experience, decreased mobility and lower quality of life.Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of low BMD among children with cerebral palsy in Denmark across the spectrum of gross motor function scale (GMFCS) of I-V and ...

Aims: To investigate the prevalence of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN), cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and sudomotor dysfunction in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes using bedside modalities. Secondly, to evaluate the co-existence of these types of diabetes neuropathies.Methods: Cross-sectional study including 221 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. DPN was assessed by vibration sensation thresho...

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of elevated arterial stiffness and associations to known and potentially novel risk factors in a modern European technology-based cohort of children and adolescent with type 1 diabetes.Research Design and Methods: Cross-sectional study including 127 children recruited from Pediatric Diabetes Departments across Eastern Denmark between May 2022 and January 2024. Arterial stiffness w...

Background: There is a rise in overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in parallel with a rise in the metabolic syndrome (MS) among children and adolescents in general.Objective: The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and characteristics of the MS in children and adolescents with T1D compared to their healthy counterparts.Design and Sett...
