A new study found that a combination of seven healthy lifestyle habits was associated with a lower risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. These habits include sleeping seven to nine hours daily, exercising regularly, and having frequent social contact.A combination of seven healthy lifestyle habits was associated with a lower risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes.
For the study, scientists looked at a healthcare database in the United Kingdom and identified 167,946 people 60 or older with and without diabetes who did not have dementia at the start of the investigation. Participants provided physical measurements, completed health questionnaires, and gave blood samples.
“Our research shows that for people with type 2 diabetes, the risk of dementia may be greatly reduced by living a healthier lifestyle.” —Participants were followed by researchers for an average of 12 years. During that time, 4,351 people developed dementia. A total of 4% of the people followed only zero to two of the healthy habits, 11% followed three, 22% followed four, 30% followed five, 24% followed six, and 9% followed all seven.
For people with diabetes who followed all the habits, there were 21 cases of dementia for 7,474 person-years or 0.28%. Person-years represent both the number of people in the study and the amount of time each person spends in the study. For people with diabetes who followed only two or fewer habits, there were 72 cases of dementia for 10,380 person-years or 0.69%.
