It was the goal of the trial to assess cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus or overweight/obesity. All children and adolescents (n=77 [n=45 patients with diabetes mellitus, n=32 patients with overweight/obesity]) admitted to our hospital during the period from 01/07 to 31/08/2006 were included in the trial. Socio-demographic and laboratory data (age, sex, diabetes duration, BMI, BMI-SDS, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, oGTT in patients with overweight/obesity, lipids, CRP, TSH, creatinine, and microalbuminuria) were assessed. The diameter of a retinal arterial and a venous segment was measured continuously on-line with a Dynamic Vessel Analyzer, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured, and 24-h-blood pressure monitoring was applied. RESULTS: Flicker light stimulation induces a comparable arterial dilatation in patients with type 1 diabetes and overweight/obesity. Univariate ANOVA in patients with type 1 diabetes shows an influence of diastolic blood pressure on arterial dilatation. Other factors such as BMI, age, diabetes duration, smoking, sex, HbA1c and insulin dose/kg had no effect. CONCLUSIONS: In children and adolescents with diabetes or overweight/obesity retinal vascular alterations seem to be more sensitive and already present before the occurrence of classic cardiovascular markers.
