ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to determine the indicator of % body fat tissue of children suffering from Diabetes type 1, boys and girls aged 7 to 18 years, and to present its dynamics in the aspect of age and gender. We examined 37 boys and 36 girls suffering from Diabetes type 1, they were divided into two age groups: 7 to 12 years and 12 to 18 years. The body fat % was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis with the apparatus “Tanita”. The obtained quantitative data was processed through variation analysis. The results show that the indicator is higher in girls than in boys. There is a statistically significant difference of high extent (P<0.001) in the senior age (12–18) between boys and girls. A reliable difference of low extent (P<0.05) also exists in the interage comparison in boys. Conclusion: There is a characteristic interage and intersexual dynamics of the indicator of % body fat in children with Diabetes type 1. Bioelectrical impedance gives accurate data on the components of body composition.
