Incidence of Diabetes in Children and Youth—Tracking a Moving Target

Factors That Affect Quality of Life in Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

“…In more than half of all cases, T1DM is diagnosed before the age of 21 years, with peak incidence occurring around puberty. 27 This study helps to identify that fear of hypoglycemia and fear of complications negatively affect quality of life in young adults despite their efforts to manage their disease and maintain appropriate metabolic control. Diabetes educators must help young adults achieve optimal management while still reporting good quality of life.…”

Bisphenol A exposure is associated with low-grade urinary albumin excretion in children of the United States

“…Data for diet and physical activity were not available for the present analysis, and these could be potential confounders insofar as they are related both to uBPA and ACR. While we were limited in our capacity to control for diabetes in this population due to relatively infrequent fasting insulin and glucose data, diabetes is relatively low in prevalence in children compared with adults, 44,45 and multiple imputation did not significantly affect the association of uBPA with ACR. Finally, the absence of association between low-grade albuminuria and other environmental phenols argues for a specificity of the link to BPA.…”

Using Clinical Information To Project Federal Health Care Spending
