AGE FEATURES OF COGNITIVE DISORDERS IN TYPE 1 AND 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Аннотация

At present, in connection with the ever-increasing requirements for effective intellectual activity in all spheres of the functioning of society, the study of cognitive impairment is becoming increasingly important. The progressive aging of the population and, as a result, the increase in age-related pathological conditions have made memory and other cognitive decline a number of leading social and medical problems. There is reason to believe that in the future the trend towards “aging of the population” of the economically developed countries of the world will continue and even worsen, and that by 2030 more than a third of the population of economically developed countries will be elderly people. Since age is a strong and independent risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia, the number of patients with these disorders is increasing at the same time as the number of elderly people. According to statistics, from 5 to 25% of elderly and elderly people have severe cognitive impairment (dementia). In the context of the global epidemic of DM, the problem of chronic CVD in such patients is gaining more and more medical and social significance. The presence of diabetes allows the risk of discirculatory encephalopathy, stroke, in all age categories, but to the greatest extent in the working population under 65 years of age. The relative risk of stroke in this case increases to 1.8 - 3.8 times.
