Understanding the inter-relationships of type 2 diabetes and hypertension with brain and cognitive health: A UK Biobank study.
Danielle NewbyVictoria GarfieldPublished in: Diabetes, obesity & metabolism (2022)

These findings potentially suggest that prevention of both diabetes and hypertension may delay changes in brain structure, as well as cognitive decline and dementia diagnosis.
