Description
Anjana Menon, Monisha S, and Thomas Gregor Issac study insulin resistance and thinking skills in older urban adults in southern India, in a 2025 paper. Insulin resistance makes body cells respond poorly to insulin, and it is tied to diabetes. The brain also needs sound insulin signals, so weak signals may harm memory and thought. The team drew on a long-running aging study in an Indian city.
Just over one thousand adults aged forty-five and older took part. More than half had insulin resistance by a standard blood-based measure. Those adults scored lower on a broad thinking test, above all in attention and spatial skills. The gaps held after age, schooling, and inflammation were taken into account. The authors frame insulin resistance as a risk factor worth watching in brain aging.
