Comparisons of means on the basis of gender (m vs. m; f vs. f) and illness. Data are presented as mean values and standard deviations unless otherwise stated. ^†For SATAQ-4R scores, Cronbach’s alpha of SATAQ-4R was reported as male/female values. T1D, type 1 diabetes; N, number of subjects; SATAQ-4R, Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised; Int. thin/low body, internalization of the thin-low body fat physical ideal; Int. muscular, internalization of the muscular-athletic physical ideal; Int. general attract, internalization of a more general desire to be attractive or in good shape; Press. family, pressure from family; Press. Peers, pressure from peers; Press. sign. others, pressure from significant others; Press. media, pressure from media; m, males; f, females; Ctrl, controls.
