Abstract

Background: Previous epidemiologic studies indicate that diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with cognitive decline and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer disease (AD) in people who do not have dementia. However, little is known about the effect of DM on the rate of cognitive decline in established AD. Our objective was to determine whether DM influences the rate of cognitive decline in patients with AD.
