Risque cardiométabolique et habitudes de vie des adultes atteints de diabète de type 1
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In addition, over the past decades, there was a major upward shift in the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors (central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia) among this population which could have either an additive or synergistic effect on cardiovascular disease risk. Those patients also have more barriers to the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. The objective of this master thesis was to explore the lifestyle habits of adults with T1D and its relationship with cardiometabolic risk factors. An observational cross-sectional study among 124 adults with T1D has resulted in a characterization of their cardiometabolic profile and their lifestyle habits. The results show that the majority of T1D adults do not adopt the recommended healthy lifestyles habits (good diet quality, regular physical activity, none-smoking status) and present altered cardiometabolic profile compared to those who adopt them. In addition, there would be a proportional relationship between the adoption of a healthier lifestyle and the improvement of the cardiometabolic profile. Prospective studies and clinical trials interventions among patients with T1D are although needed to confirm these findings.
