  2. STUDY OBJECTIVE • Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with brain atrophy and cerebrovascular disease • We define the regional distribution of brain atrophy in T2DM and examine if atrophy or cerebrovascular lesions are links between T2DM and cognitive function Moran C. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:4036-4042

  3. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and cognitive tests were used in 350 participants with T2DM and 363 participants without T2DM • With voxel-based morphometry, regional distribution of atrophy in T2DM was studied • Cerebrovascular lesions and atrophy were measured while blinded to T2DM status Moran C. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:4036-4042

  4. RESULTS • T2DM was associated with more cerebral infarcts and lower total gray, white, and • hippocampal volumes but not with microbleeds or white matter hyperintensity • T2DM-related gray matter loss was distributed mainly in medial temporal, anterior cingulate, and medial frontal lobes • White matter loss was distributed in frontal and temporal regions • T2DM was associated with poorer visuospatial construction, planning, visual memory, and speed independent of age, sex, education, and vascular risk factors Moran C. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:4036-4042

  7. CONCLUSIONS • Cortical atrophy in T2DM resembles patterns seen in preclinical Alzheimer disease • Neurodegeneration rather than cerebrovascular lesions may play a key role in T2DM-related cognitive impairment Moran C. et al. Diabetes Care 2013;36:4036-4042
