Higher Body Fat in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Higher prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) suggests alterations are required in body composition. However, differences in body composition between children with T1D and typically developing children (TDC) have not been synthesized using meta-analysis. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare body composition between children with T1D and TDC, and to explore the role of disease and non-disease related factors in potential body composition differences.

Methods

Studies were performed comparing dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry-acquired total body fat and lean mass, absolute (kg) and relative (%) values, between children with T1D and TDC. We reported mean differences with 95% confidence i
