Type 2 diabetes and age-related cognitive decline over 40 years in Danish men–A cohort study based on the Danish Aging and Cognition (DanACo) cohort
Type 2 diabetes was associated with modestly greater cognitive decline and higher odds of a statistically significant (>13.2 IQ points) and clinically relevant decline. Finally, the alignment between main and IPW results indicates the findings are robust and likely generalizable.
