Sociodemographic inequities and use of hybrid closed-loop systems associated with obesity in youth with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to describe changes over time in rates of overweight and obesity and to identify factors associated with obesity in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Methods

We analyzed data from 7360 diabetes medical visits among 2242 youth with type 1 diabetes for ≥1 year followed at a pediatric, tertiary care, academic medical center between 2018 and 2023. Multivariable generalized estimating equations (GEE) analysis and conditional logistic regression (CLR), where each patient had both control (not obesity) and case (obesity) status, were conducted.

Results

Adjusted annual percentages of patients with obesity increased from 13.8 % in 2018 to 18.2 % in 2023 (P = 0.006); rates of overweight did not differ significantly over time. In multivariable GEE analysis, publi
