Association Between Glycemic Control and Affected Cognitive Domains Among Older Adults in Lebanon: A Population‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study
Results underscore the importance of glycemic control in cognitive performance. Participants with poor glycemic control exhibited marked lower scores in both immediate and delayed memory recall, and were less likely to perform well in orientation tasks. Effective diabetes management, particularly glycemic control, is essential to mitigate cognitive decline in aging populations.
