| Abstract | Aims Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with dementia, and abnormal blood pressure (BP), aortic stiffness, and haemodynamics. We aimed to study the contribution of such factors to brain structure and cognition, relative to the contribution of metabolic factors in T2D such as insulin resistance and adiposity, in older people with T2D. Methods Cross-sectional sample with T2D in the Cognition and Diabetes in Older Tasmanians–Blood Pressure (CDOT-BP) study. Measurements included neuropsychological battery, brain MRI, and Mobil-o-Graph-derived (IEM, Germany) aortic BP and haemodynamics. We studied associations of exposure variables with outcomes using structural equation modelling for cognition, and simple linear regression for brain structure, using standardised coefficients to determine relative contribution of variables to the outcomes in combined regression models. Results 202 participants (mean age 68.5 years, mean HbA1c = 6.42%). Augmentation index was associated with processing speed (p < 0.05). The contribution of augmentation index to processing speed (standardized β = −0.237) was greater than waist-hip ratio (β = −0.175) and use of oral glucose lowering medications and insulin (β = −0.126), but less than age (β = −0.431). Peripheral systolic BP, pulse wave velocity, and peripheral nocturnal systolic BP dipping were associated with measures of white matter integrity (fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity, p < 0.05) but not with cortical thickness. Conclusion BP, aortic stiffness and altered haemodynamics contribute to early cognitive change and loss of white matter integrity in T2D. The novel association between nocturnal BP dipping and white matter integrity deserves further investigation. Measuring white matter integrity may be useful to detect the effect of these vascular factors on the brain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
