PG - 339-345 LID - S0211-139X(19)30077-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.regg.2019.04.004 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and dementia increase with ageing. In this context, an association between T2DM and cognitive impairment has been described in the literature. However, there are few studies in the Hispanic population. This research project presents a pilot study that will evaluate the feasibility of the DIABDEM project that will determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment in old people with diagnosis of T2DM in Spain and Chile. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a observation-based pilot study, non-experimental, descriptive-comparative and cross-sectional. The sample will involve 72 participants (39 Spaniards and 33 Chileans), 65 year-old or older, men and women, community dwelling, and who have not been previously diagnosed with dementia, with or without a T2DM diagnosis. Participants will fill in a research protocol form collecting socio-demographic and clinical data, lifestyle details, and neuropsychological variables. EXPECTED RESULTS: This study will evaluate the feasibility of the DIABDEM project that will determine the prevalence rate of cognitive impairment in old people with T2DM. On one hand, the aim of this study will establish risk and protectors factors potentially associated with the development of cognitive impairment in T2DM. On the other hand, it is expected to identify a specific neuropsychological profile in people with T2DM, proposing later a brief and useful neuropsychological battery in order to discriminate early cognitive impairment in people with T2DM. CONCLUSION: Findings in this pilot study will obtain greater knowledge about the feasibility of the DIABDEM project, which will provide evidence about cognitive complications in T2DM.
