Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Multidomain lifestyle interventions have been demonstrated to benefit cognitive function but it is unknown whether they reduce risk for clinically significant cognitive impairment sCI (mild cognitive impairment or dementia).
METHODS
The Action for Health in Diabetes administered repeated cognitive assessments in adults who had been enrolled in a 10-year clinical trial of a multidomain Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (ILI) versus Diabetes Support and Education (DSE).
RESULTS
N = 3655 underwent at least one assessment of cognitive status during 12–14 years of post-trial follow-up. The relative impact of ILI on sCI incidence varied by baseline body mass index (BMI, interaction p = 0.004): hazard ratio (HR) = 0.64 [0.46,0.89] for BMI 25–29 kg/m2, HR = 0.98 [0.85,1.16] for BMI 30–39 kg/m2, and HR = 1.40 [1.01,1.93] for BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2.
DISCUSSION
A long-term multidomain lifestyle intervention may markedly reduce the risk of incident sCI among adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight but not obesity.
