Cross-sectional study reveals associations between cognitive function, hand grip strength, and dexterity in type 2 diabetes, highlighting implications for patient quality of life.
Key Points
Cognitive function significantly correlates with hand grip strength and dexterity in type 2 diabetes patients, affecting daily activities.
Regression analysis indicated a significant linear relationship of cognitive function with dominant hand grip strength (p˂ .05) and dexterity.
Assessment methods included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Duruoz Hand Index for comprehensive evaluation of functions.
Findings suggest that hyperglycemia contributes to brain and hand function impairments, emphasizing the need for effective management in diabetes.
