Disordered Eating Behaviour in People with Type1 Diabetes: Systemic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
: this paper has reported a systematic review to identify (1) the prevalence of disorder
eating behaviour (DEB) in comparison with peers and, (2) the association of disorder
eating behaviour (DEB) with glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes. : a systemic review and meta-analysis have been conducted via an electronic
database for the studies that meet the inclusion criteria. Using 7 published studies to find
out the Relative Risk or Risk Ratio (RR) of prevalence of DEB in T1DM compared to healthy
peers. Cohen’s d was calculated for 3 published studies to determine the impact of DEB
on glycaemic control (HbA1c). Disorder eating behaviour is more common in both sex and late adolescent
age ranges for T1DM patients when compared with non-diabetic individuals. Also, poorer
glycaemic control is associated with DEB in T1DM. Future research should therefore
concentrate on improving routine screening and measurement to enable early detection
and intervention of this condition.
