This study utilized large-scale population-based data to investigate the association between cognitive function and diabetes in Canadian population. The results showed that type 2 diabetes is associated with lower performance in tasks assessing executive function, reaction time, and memory. However, no significant association was found between other types of diabetes and cognitive performance.
ObjectivesDiabetes is recognized as a significant risk factor for cognitive impairment. However, this association has not been thoroughly examined using large-scale population-based datasets in the Canadian context. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential association between cognitive function and diabetes in a large population-based sample of middle-aged and older Canadians.MethodsWe utilized baseline data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (N=30,097) to test our hypotheses, using five indicators of cognitive function (animal fluency, Stroop interference, reaction time, immediate and delayed memory recall). We conducted multivariate multivariable linear regression and subsequently performed tests for moderation analysis with lifestyle factors and health status.ResultsThe analysis revealed that type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was associated with lower performance on most cognitive tasks, including those assessing executive function (b=0.60, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.90), reaction time (b=16.94, 95% CI 9.18 to 24.70), immediate memory recall (b=-0.10, 95% CI -0.18 to -0.02), and delayed memory recall (b=-0.12, 95% CI -0.21 to -0.02). However, no significant association was observed between other types of diabetes and cognitive performance. Moderation effects were largely null for T2DM, with the exception of alcohol intake for reaction time, and physical activity for animal fluency.ConclusionsThe study showed that individuals with T2DM exhibit poor performance on tasks that assess executive function, reaction time, and memory. Therefore, optimizing cognitive health among individuals with T2DM should be a priority in primary care. Additionally, further studies should examine this association using longitudinal data.
