Longitudinal Changes in Cardiac Structure and Function in People with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes and Association between Oral Health, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Complications
Reexamination of the Thousand & 1 and Thousand & 2 Cohorts
The objective of this study is to determine longitudinal changes in cardiac structure and function by echocardiography in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the general population. Furthermore, we aim to assess risk factors for the development and progression of abnormal cardiac structure and systolic and diastolic impairment in T1D and T2D adults.
The objective of this study is also to determine oral health status in adults with T1D and T2D and the relationship with clinical characteristics and complications including cardiovascular and microvascular (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) with particular focus on cardiac function.
