| Annotation | As part of the Nurses' health study in the US, two cognitive interviews were carried out by telephone between 1994 and 2003 with 18,999 women aged 70-81 who had been registered nurses. 16,596 participants completed follow-up interviews after 2 years. After multivariate adjustment, women with type 2 diabetes performed worse on all cognitive tests than women without diabetes at baseline; and they had increased odds of poor cognitive function and substantial cognitive decline. There was also a modest increase in odds of poor cognition among women using insulin treatment. Use of hypoglycaemic therapy, however, may ameliorate risk. (RH). |
