Abstract
Aim: To assess the likelihood of dementia in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), distinguishing between those with and without microvascular diseases.
Methods: Leveraging the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan, we identified individuals newly diagnosed with T2D from 1 January 2009 through 31 December 2014. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare the risk of outcomes.
Results: Individuals with microvascular disease had a significantly higher risk of all-cause dementia (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 1.13 [1.09, 1.17]) compared with matched individuals without microvascular disease. In addition, individuals with diabetic kidney disease and diabetic neuropathy were associated with a significantly increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (1.16 [1.02, 1.32] and 1.14 [1.03, 1.27]), vascular dementia (1.21 [1.06, 1.38] and 1.14 [1.02, 1.28]) and other dementia (1.11 [1.04, 1.19] and 1.10 [1.04, 1.16]), respectively, compared with those without microvascular disease.
Conclusions: This nationwide cohort study showed that patients with T2D and microvascular disease, particularly diabetic kidney disease and diabetic neuropathy, were associated with a significantly higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, other dementia and all-cause dementia than those without microvascular disease.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism is primarily a journal of clinical and experimental pharmacology and therapeutics covering the interrelated areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolism. The journal prioritises high-quality original research that reports on the effects of new or existing therapies, including dietary, exercise and lifestyle (non-pharmacological) interventions, in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine disease, either in humans or animal and cellular systems. ‘Metabolism’ may relate to lipids, bone and drug metabolism, or broader aspects of endocrine dysfunction. Preclinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetic studies, meta-analyses and those addressing drug safety and tolerability are also highly suitable for publication in this journal. Original research may be published as a main paper or as a research letter.
