- Youth with type 1 diabetes are at higher risk of adverse body composition changes, including increased fat mass and reduced lean and bone mass.
- A 24-week randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of Diactive-1-supported progressive resistance training on body composition in 62 participants aged 8-18 years.
- The intervention group showed significant gains in lean mass (MD = 0.88 kg) and whole-body bone mineral content (MD = 32.40 g) compared to the usual care group.
- No significant changes were observed in anthropometric measures or fat mass-related regions.
- The intervention group had a lower risk of probable sarcopenia (RR = 0.17) compared to the usual care group.
- The Diactive-1 app demonstrated potential as an adjunct tool to support musculoskeletal health in youths with type 1 diabetes.
