Abstract
We studied arterial stiffness in youth and young adults with T1D and potential longitudinal mediators of racial and ethnic disparities. SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study participants (n=2317; 14% Hispanic, 12% non-Hispanic Black, 74% non-Hispanic White) had CV risk factors (body size, lipid profile, blood pressure, A1c, urinary creatinine, pulse) measured 2-6 times from ∼9 months up to ˜years after T1D diagnosis. Arterial stiffness was measured with pulse wave velocity (PWV) at ˜years T1D duration (˜18 years of age) . For each risk factor, we summarized the longitudinal data as mean, max, slope, and area-under-the-curve (AUC) . Using split test/replication datasets, we a) identified the summary statistic for each risk factor most associated with PWV using flipped multivariate general linear models, and b) used the resulting statistics to construct a risk score predicting PWV with a stepwise general linear model. The final score included AUC for BMI, triglycerides and creatinine; heart rate slope; max mean arterial pressure; and age and T1D duration at PWV measurement, explaining 35% of variability in PWV at 18 years. PWV varied by race and ethnicity (Figure - left) . Adjustment for the risk score partially attenuated this disparity (Figure - right) . These data suggest CV risk factors from T1D diagnosis onward are related to racial and ethnic disparities in arterial stiffness, but other factors are likely involved. Disclosure K.A.Sauder: None.
