Quantifying Cognitive Function in Diabetes: Relationships Between AD8 Scores, HbA1c Levels, and Other Diabetic Comorbidities
By employing the AD8 questionnaire as a sensitive screening tool, our study suggests that early cognitive decline is significantly associated with poorer glycemic control, a lower glomerular filtration rate, peripheral artery disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Early detection of these risk factors may facilitate timely interventions and tailored treatment strategies to treat or prevent cognitive dysfunction.
