Diabetics Found More Prone to Mild Memory
Problems
(Chicago, Reuters Health, 4/9/07)
Beginning in the early 1990’s, researchers at Columbia
University Medical Center studied 918 older adults at risk
for heart disease but with no signs of dementia at the
outset. The investigators tracked each participant with
physical, neurological and memory tests every 18 months for
about six years. The scientists found that subjects with
diabetes were more likely to exhibit memory loss, which may
progress into Alzheimer’s disease.
