Resumo

What is already knoWn on this topic?What this study adds?We investigated whether low-grade inflammation correlates with arterial stiffness in Chinese youth and adolescents with newlydiagnosed T2DM.It is well known that adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease due to the accelerated atherosclerosis.Adolescents with T2DM also appear to be at higher risk to develop atherosclerosis.Compared to their adolescent counterparts without diabetes, youth and adolescents with T2DM demonstrate increased arterial stiffness, a known precursor of atherosclerosis.
