Discussion

Nationwide cohort study indicates high waist-to-height ratio raises cardiovascular disease risk in type 1 diabetes patients.

High waist-to-height ratio significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Patients with waist-to-height ratio ≥0.6 had a 62% higher risk of composite cardiovascular outcomes compared to those <0.5.
Analysis included 16,928 adults with type 1 diabetes from a nationwide cohort database over a median follow-up of 6.7 years.
Findings suggest active monitoring of waist-to-height ratio in managing cardiovascular health for type 1 diabetes patients.

Kim et al. (2025) studied this question.
