Neurodegenerative disease: Diabetes, microvascular pathology and Alzheimer disease

Raj N Kalaria. Nat Rev Neurol. 2009 Jun.

Abstract

Epidemiological studies suggest that the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia is increased in individuals with diabetes mellitus, although the evidence from clinicopathological studies on neurodegenerative changes is at odds with these observations. A thorough appraisal of concomitant vascular changes in dementia might resolve this incongruity.
