Wu N, Bredin SSD, Jamnik VK, et al. - Researchers intended to determine if there is an association between objectively measured physical activity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in other ethnicities, especially Chinese youth living with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). They evaluated CVD risk factors, physical activity, and aerobic fitness (and their associations) in Chinese youth living with T1DM (n = 48) and peers (n = 19) without T1DM. According to this cross-sectional study, Chinese youth with T1DM, despite their young age and short duration of diabetes, show early signs of CVD risk, as well as low physical activity levels and cardiorespiratory fitness, when compared to their seemingly healthy peers without diabetes. Regular physical activity is linked to a better cardiovascular profile in people with T1DM, including a better lipid profile. As a result, youth with T1DM should be encouraged to participate in physical activity.
