당뇨병과 혈관성치매

초록

Diabetes mellitus and vascular dementia are critical health problems in the elderly. Diabetes is known to be a risk factor for cognitive impairment and vascular dementia as well as for cerebrovascular disease. Diabetes could cause vascular dementia through multiple mechanisms including vascular complications. Therefore, early management of diabetes and other vascular risk factors is important to prevent vascular dementia. (Korean Clinical Diabetes J 11:271-275, 2010)
