Risk factors associated with cognitive performance and cognitive impairment in older adults with type 1 diabetes: Data from the Wireless Innovation for Seniors with Diabetes Mellitus (WISDM) study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are considered at increased risk for cognitive impairment and accelerated brain aging. However, longitudinal data on cognitive impairment and dementia in this population are scarce.

Objective

To identify risk factors associated with cognitive performance and cognitive impairment in a longitudinal sample of older adults with T1D.

Methods

We analyzed data collected as part of the Wireless Innovation for Seniors with Diabetes Mellitus (WISDM) Study, in which 22 endocrinology practices participated. Randomized participants with T1D ≥60 years of age who completed at least one cognitive assessment were included in this study (n = 203). Cognitive impairment was classified using published recommendations.
