— But this didn’t seem to translate into Alzheimer’s disease-related neurodegeneration

Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may have advanced brain aging compared with those without T1D, though this didn’t come with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease-related neurodegeneration, according to a cohort study.
Participants included in the observational EDIC study had consistently higher Spatial Pattern for Recognition (SPARE)-Brain Age scores compared with controls without diabetes, indicating about 6 additional years of brain aging (β = 6.16 and β = 1.04, respectively, P<0.001), reported Mohamad Habes, PhD, of the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, and colleagues.
