Favourable cognitive frailty trends linked to lower diabetes risk

Favourable cognitive frailty dynamics were linked to lower odds of next-wave diabetes compared with unfavourable dynamics (OR 0.66).Favourable cognitive frailty dynamics were linked to lower odds of next-wave diabetes compared with unfavourable dynamics (OR 0.66). In a multinational study of 23,458 adults aged 45 years and older without baseline diabetes from CHARLS, HRS, and ELSA, researchers tracked cognitive frailty…
