Context: The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality may differ between patients with type 1 diabetes and the general population; it is not known which clinical characteristics modify the relationship.
Objective: Our aim was to assess the relationship between BMI and mortality and the interaction with clinically meaningful factors.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective study included 5836 individuals with type 1 diabetes from the FinnDiane study.
Aims/hypothesis: Our aim was to assess regression of albuminuria and its clinical consequences in type 1 diabetes.
Methods: The analysis included 3642 participants from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy (FinnDiane) Study with a 24 h urine sample and a history of albuminuria available at baseline. A total of 2729 individuals had normal AER, 438 a history of microalbuminuria and 475 a history of macroalbuminuria.
