Key result
Higher BMI is linked to cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes, while blood pressure shows no association.
Why the study?
The morbidity of cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetic patients increases when associated with certain clinical factors, but the relationship with BMI and blood pressure in this population was unclear.
Population
274 adult type 2 diabetic patients attending primary care in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria
Comparison
Body mass index and blood pressure in relation to cognitive impairment
Design
Descriptive hospital-based cross-sectional study

BMI-cognitive impairment link in T2DM may aid risk identification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective studies before practice change.

p-value: p=0.048
In adult patients with type 2 diabetes in a primary care setting, BMI was significantly associated with cognitive impairment, whereas blood pressure was not.
Adebayo et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in type 2 diabetes (n=274). Body Mass Index (BMI) was evaluated on Cognitive Impairment (CI) (p=0.048). Body mass index was significantly associated with cognitive impairment among type 2 diabetic patients (p=0.048), whereas blood pressure was not (p=0.159).
