Abstract TH818: Associations of Glycemic Control and Diabetes Duration With Incident Dementia: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study (ARIC-NCS)

Smith et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Diabetes and incident dementia (n=5,030). Higher glycemic level (HbA1c ≥7%) and longer diabetes duration (≥5 years) vs. Lower glycemic level (HbA1c <7%) and shorter duration (<5 years) was evaluated on incident dementia (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.22-1.77). Higher glycemic levels (HbA1c ≥7%) and longer diabetes duration (≥5 years) increased incident dementia risk (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.22-1.77 and HR 1.57, 95% CI 1.24-1.98, respectively).
