Abstract

Introduction: We aim to investigate the longitudinal associations between level of physical activity (PA) and the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia among type 2 diabetes (T2D) and pre-diabetes (PD) participants who are cognitively normal at study entry.

Methods: We used data from the Age-Gene/Environment-Susceptibility-Reykjavik-Study (65-96 years). From the original sample, 3001 participants with a complete evaluation of T2D, MCI and dementia were included in this analysis.

Results: During follow-up (5.2 years), 8.5% (n = 256) developed MCI and 3.7% (n = 111) developed dementia. T2D participants had an increased risk for MCI (OR = 1.632, P = 0.021) and both PD and T2D individuals had increased risk for dementia (OR = 1.947, P = 0.003 and OR=2.101, P = 0.026). PA was associated with lower dementia risk in normal participants only (OR = 0.611, P = 0.019).

Discussion: Older adults with PD/T2D had low level of PA and higher risk of declining cognitive function.
