Early changes of arterial elasticity in Type 1 diabetes with microvascular complications - A cross-sectional study from childhood to adulthood

Type 1 diabetes CX+ subjects have an earlier peak and decline in SAE relative to CX− and controls, who did not differ. Lower SAE and higher PP were associated with increased odds of Type 1 diabetes complications in adults. These clinically applicable techniques demonstrate an association between accelerated vascular aging and vascular complications in diabetes.
