[Analysis of body composition with the use of bioimpedance in children with type 1 diabetes].

Introduction: Patients with diagnosed type 1 diabetes are a group particularly exposed to cardiovascular complications related to obesity. According to some previous data, one of the useful methods to analyze body composition may be a method of bioelectrical impedance.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of this research was to make an attempt of finding a correlation between anthropometric indicators and results of lipids profile and data obtained from bioelectrical impedance tests in children with diabetes.
