Luyckx K, et al. - In this study involving adolescents and emerging adults, researchers analyzed disturbed eating behavior (DEB) over a 1-year period and studied the directionality of effects linking DEB to diabetes-specific functioning and depressive symptoms. Study participants included 300 youth (aged 16-28 years) with type 1 diabetes. In this longitudinal study, researchers noted the significant effect of DEB in the transition to adulthood, with a significant portion of youth with type 1 diabetes at risk for clinical DEB. Prospective pathways have been identified that link DEB to functioning, highlighting the clinical significance of evaluating DEB over time.
