Predictors of Change in Skin Intrinsic Fluorescence in Type 1 Diabetes: The Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Skin intrinsic fluorescent (SIF) scores are indirect measures of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). SIF scores are cross-sectionally associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) complications such as increased albumin excretion rate (AER), coronary artery calcification (CAC) and neuropathy. We assessed predictors of SIF score change in those with T1D.

Methods

Data from the 30-year longitudinal Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study of childhood-onset T1D were used to assess AGEs measured with a SIF score produced by the SCOUT DS® device. SIF scores were assessed twice in 83 participants: between 2007-08 and again between 2010-14. Regression analyses were used to assess independent predictors of SIF score change.

Results

At baseline, mean age was 4
