Abstract
Objective
This study examined the population-based epidemiological prevalence of early- and late-onset dementia in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with the general population in Taiwan from 2009 to 2022.
Methods
A 14-year nationwide population-based epidemiology study from 2009 to 2022 in Taiwan using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database was conducted to examine the crude and age-standardized dementia prevalence in individuals aged <65 and ≥65. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with dementia prevalence in the T2DM population.
Results
Among individuals aged ≥65 with T2DM, age-standardized dementia prevalence increased from 5.83 per 100 in 2009 to 7.11 per 100 in 2022, while the crude prevalence ratio compared to the general population ranged from 1.19 to 1.08. In the 40–64 age group, standardized dementia prevalence ranged from 0.58 to 0.43 per 100, with crude ratios ranging from 1.76 to 1.41.
Our study found a higher risk of dementia prevalence among individuals aged 65 years and older, particularly among those with T2DM. Although the overall prevalence of dementia in the 40–64 age group was lower compared to older adults, individuals in this younger group with T2DM exhibited a significantly higher risk of developing dementia. Given these findings, public policy should prioritize early preventive strategies for individuals with T2DM to monitor and mitigate dementia progression in patients with T2DM.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
