Description
Yuling Liu and eight colleagues trace, in a 2026 UK Biobank study, when dementia risk begins to climb around a new diabetes diagnosis. Evidence on risk before diagnosis was thin, so the team ran matched case-control and cohort analyses together.
Records covered 44,166 people who developed diabetes and three times as many matched controls. Dementia risk was already higher a full decade before diagnosis and rose as diagnosis approached, peaking in the final two years. Risk stayed elevated after diagnosis, especially for vascular dementia, where it ran more than sixfold. The authors suggest the two years before diagnosis deserve close attention to memory and thinking.
