Older Age at Onset of Type 1 Associated with Lower Brain Connectivity

[Northerner]

Children and adolescents older than age 8 at the onset of type 1 diabetes had weaker brain connectivity when tested later in life relative to those who had earlier ages of diagnosis, University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences researchers discovered.

The findings, presented today at the American Psychosomatic Society’s annual meeting, were made by analyzing the brain scans of 44 middle-age adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as children.
