Incident dementia is associated with higher rates of PPHs among people with diabetes, especially PPHs due to diabetes, urinary tract infection (UTI), and dehydration. Potential evidence suggested that HbA1c levels of >8% versus lower levels are associated with higher rates of overall PPHs and UTI- and dehydration-related PPHs.
