Abstract

Background: Type 1 Diabetes is the most prevalent chronic disease in childhood. The most common cause of T1DM is an autoimmune process. Age at onset and metabolic control can affect the anthropometric status of children with T1DM. This research intends to find the correlation between age at onset and metabolic control with the anthropometrics status of children with T1DM because it is still controversial. Methods: The design was a cross-sectional study. The inclusion criteria were medical records of patients with Type 1 Diabetes aged 2-18 years old who regularly control to pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from January 2020 - December 2021. Data collected were age at onset, HbA1c levels, height, and weight. The correlation between variables was analyzed by using Pearson test. Result: Twenty-six patients joined the study. The mean onset was 8.38 ± 3.07 years. One (3.8%) patient had good metabolic control, 8 (30.8%) intermediate, and 17 (65.4%) had poor metabolic control. Around 73.1% had normal height and 65.4% had normal weight. The correlation of age at onset, height, and weight was [(r=0.774, p=<0.000); (r=0.555, p=0.003)] respectively. The correlation of metabolic control, height, and weight was [(r=0.224=0.271); −0.36, p=0.86)]. Conclusion: There is a correlation between age at onset and anthropometrics status. It is very important to monitor height and weight in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus patient.
