Description
Introduction:
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that is related to insulin resistance and dysregulation of energy metabolism.
The relationship of diabetes and hyperglycemia to atrophy in specific areas of the brain have not been fully investigated.
We aimed to investigate the relationship of diabetes status on metabolically active regions of the brain as well as the relationship to cognitive performance in older adults.
Objective:
To study the association of diabetes status with total and regional brain volumes, grey and white matter volume as well as its relationship to cognitive performance in an aging population.
