People living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk of mental health disorders, particularly eating disorders (EDs). While this association is well known among diabetologists and raises concern among healthcare providers due to the heightened risk of both acute and chronic diabetes-related complications, they often feel ill-equipped to identify these issues and to guide patients toward appropriate psychological or psychiatric care, as well as effective diabetes management.

This cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of dyslipidemia and the risk factors for non-communicable diseases among 1,249 women aged ≥ 18 years from the rural area of Nador Province, between April 14, 2021, and May 22, 2024. Measurements included blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, and lipid profile. The mean age was 42.28 ± 16.73 years. Among the participants, 54% had a low level of education, and 0.6% were smokers. A strong adherence to the Mediterranean diet was observed in 87%. Regarding weight, 56.47% had a normal BMI, 25.41% were overweight, 12.29% obese, and 5.83% underweight. Blood glucose levels were 122.09 ± 47.13 mg/dL in diabetic women and 97 ± 11.67 mg/dL in nondiabetic women. Blood pressures were measured at 129.11 ± 18.05 mmHg for systolic pressure and 78.46 ± 10.93 mmHg for diastolic pressure. Women engaging in physical activity for more than 30 minutes per day represented 70.67% of the participants. The average total cholesterol level was 2.37 ± 0.546 g/L, and the average LDL-cholesterol level was 1.65 ± 0.44 g/L. Multivariate analysis revealed that dyslipidemia was significantly correlated with age ≥ 50 years (p < 0.001; adjusted OR = 1.782), physical inactivity (p = 0.034; adjusted OR = 1.521), and obesity (p = 0.01; adjusted OR = 1.637).

L’index de masse corporelle (IMC) a été mis au point en 1832 par un mathématicien belge, Adolphe Quetelet, sans aucune arrière-pensée médicale. Plus d’un siècle plus tard, Ancel Keys redécouvre l’IMC qu’il utilise à dans ses études épidémiologiques. Ce n’est qu’en 1985 que le NIH propose de définir l’obésité et le surpoids par l’IMC. En 1998, l’OMS fait de l’IMC le standard permettant d’évaluer les risques liés au poids, fixe de nouveaux seuils de poids : souhaitable, insuffisant ou excessif, et définit plusieurs catégories d’obésité. L’IMC, qui est un outil épidémiologique commode, est un outil diagnostique contestable, puisqu’il est un indicateur médiocre de l’excès de masse grasse. Comme l’a souligné en 2025 un comité d’experts, il gagne à être complété par la mesure du tour de taille.
The body mass index (BMI) was developed in 1832 by a Belgian mathematician, Adolphe Quetelet, without any medical ulterior motive. More than a century later, Ancel Keys rediscovered BMI, which he used in his epidemiological studies. In 1985, the NIH proposed defining obesity and overweight by BMI. In 1998, the WHO made BMI the standard for assessing weight-related risks, set new thresholds for desirable, under- or overweight, and defined several categories of obesity. BMI, which is a convenient epidemiological tool, is a questionable diagnostic tool since it is a poor indicator of excess fat mass. As a committee of experts pointed out in 2025, it benefits from being supplemented by the measurement of waist circumference.

La notion d’autonomie a longtemps été retenue comme critère distinctif de la personne humaine. Cependant, avec l’allongement de la vie grâce aux progrès de la médecine et face au fait que de nombreux êtres humains vivent aujourd’hui en voyant leur autonomie diminuer en raison du grand âge et de la maladie, on est en droit de s’interroger sur la pertinence d’un tel critère. A-t-on le droit de considérer qu’un être humain qui a perdu son autonomie n’est plus une personne ? Un changement de paradigme n’est-il pas aujourd’hui nécessaire pour penser la personne ? Ne serait-il pas plus judicieux de choisir la vulnérabilité comme critère distinctif de la notion de personne ? Un tel choix n’impliquerait pas pour autant l’abandon complet de l’idée d’autonomie, mais ferait de celle-ci non plus le fondement de la notion de personne, mais l’horizon vers lequel elle tend. C’est en ce sens que l’on pourrait considérer que la personne se situe entre vulnérabilité et autonomie.
The notion of autonomy has long been considered a distinctive criterion of the human person. However, with the increase in life expectancy due to medical advances and the fact that many human beings today live with their autonomy diminished due to old age and illness, we are entitled to question the relevance of such a criterion. Are we entitled to consider that a human being who has lost their autonomy is no longer a person? Is not a paradigm shift necessary today in thinking about the person? Would not it be more judicious to choose vulnerability as the distinctive criterion of the notion of the person? Such a choice would not imply the complete abandonment of the idea of autonomy, but would make it no longer the foundation of the notion of the person, but the horizon toward which it tends. It is in this sense that we could consider the person to be situated between vulnerability and autonomy.
