Some Health Factors May Be Linked to Cognitive Problems
for People With Type 2 Diabetes
by Jeannine Stein
Los Angeles Times
A new study has found that older people with type 2
diabetes who also have high blood pressure? gait and
balance problems? or consider their health to be poor
may also be at higher risk for cognitive problems.
The study authors examined 13 variables that potentially
affect cognition? including grip strength? blood pressure?
involvement in physical activities? social engagement?
gait and balance? and a subjective measure of a person's
health. The study participants included 41 people from
British Columbia with type 2 diabetes? ages 55 to 81 years?
as well as a matched group of 458 healthy controls. The
participants underwent cognitive tests that measured
abilities such as memory? verbal fluency? and neuro-
cognitive speed. High systolic blood pressure? walking
more slowly and with less stability? and considering
one's own health to be bad were the three health?related
variables found to be most associated with a higher risk
of cognition problems. The researchers said that blood
pressure may be a factor because it plays a role in other
metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and hyper-
glycemia? which have already been linked to cerebrovascular
impairment. Diabetes may also adversely affect areas of
the brain that control gait? balance? and cognition? and
may cause stress and depression. "Awareness of the link
between diabetes and cognition could help people realize
how important it is to manage this disease; and to motivate
them to do so?" said coauthor Roger Dixon of the University
of Alberta. The study is published in the September issue
of the journal Neuropsychology.
