Association between cognitive dysfunction and diabetes in patients over 65 years old: a cross-sectional study using propensity score matching

CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that diabetes is associated with cognitive dysfunction in older adults. Meanwhile, there is an association between cognitive impairment and ADL level in subjects with diabetes. As such, healthcare professionals should pay close attention to the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction and ADL decline during diagnosis and treatment, and proactive prevention and intervention strategies should be implemented.PMID:38380813 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v56.18372
