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

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the association between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly population, and examine the impact of cognitive dysfunction on level of activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with diabetes.

Methods

Data analysis was conducted on 2,951 individuals aged over 65 years from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey cohort. Propensity score matching was utilized to mitigate selection bias. Multivariate binary logistic regression was performed to analyse the association between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction in the study subjects. In addition, the relationship between ADL and cognitive function in patients with diabetes was analysed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

Results

A significant association (p = 0.017) was found
