Key result
Functional assessment tools for T2DM and MCI lack validation and show marked heterogeneity.
Why the study?
Despite the increased risk of mild cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is a critical shortage of functional assessment instruments specifically validated for this population.
Comparison
Instruments assessing functionality (ADCS-ADL scale, A-FAQ, and a predictive nomogram including Lawton-Brody scale)
Design
Scoping review based on JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines

Highlights shortage of validated tools for functional assessment in T2DM with MCI; leaves open need for targeted psychometric validation before clinical adoption.
Systematic Review
There is a critical shortage of validated functional assessment instruments for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Mild Cognitive Impairment, highlighting a need for future longitudinal validation studies.
Lavadinho et al. (2026) conducted a systematic review in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Functional assessment instruments was evaluated on Instruments used to assess functionality and their psychometric properties. Functional assessment instruments for individuals with T2DM and MCI were evaluated in only three studies, revealing marked heterogeneity and a lack of validation in this specific population.
