Résumé
Aims/introduction
Although a low body mass index (BMI) is traditionally associated with high mortality in type 1 diabetes (T1D), the increasing prevalence of obesity and its association with mortality warrant further research.
Materials and methods
Using a nationwide Korean database from 2002 to 2018, we classified patients with T1D into six categories based on metabolic health and BMI (≥25, 18.5-25, and <18.5 kg/m2): metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy underweight (MHUW), and metabolically unhealthy underweight (MUUW). Mortality data were collected until 2020.
