The study distinguishes the effect of type 2 diabetes and hypertension on cognitive functions when the two diseases are alone or when they occur together, compared to healthy individuals.
A total of 143 middle-aged adults were screened using the Wechsler Memory Scale - Revised psychometric test (verbal memory, visual memory, attention/concentration and delayed memory). Participants were divided into four groups based on their diseases: patients with type 2 diabetes (36), patients with hypertension (30), patients having both diseases (33), and healthy controls (44).
This study found no differences among investigated groups in verbal and visual memory, however, hypertension and both-disease group performed unfavorably compared to patients with diabetes and to healthy individuals in attention/concentration and delayed memory.
The findings of this study suggest that there is a relationship between hypertension and cognitive dysfunction, whereas type 2 diabetes without consequences was not proved to have an association with cognitive decline in middle-aged people.
本研究将单独或同时患有 2 型糖尿病和高血压的患者与健康个体进行比较，以区分这两种疾病对认知功能的影响。
共有 143 名中年成年人接受了韦氏记忆量表修订版（言语记忆、视觉记忆、注意力/集中和延迟记忆）的心理测试。根据他们的疾病，参与者被分为四组：2 型糖尿病患者（36 人）、高血压患者（30 人）、同时患有两种疾病的患者（33 人）和健康对照组（44 人）。
本研究发现，在言语记忆和视觉记忆方面，各研究组之间没有差异，但在注意力/集中和延迟记忆方面，高血压组和两种疾病组的表现不如糖尿病患者和健康个体。
本研究结果表明，高血压与认知功能障碍之间存在关联，而没有并发症的 2 型糖尿病与中年人认知能力下降之间没有关联。
