Cognitive functions in middle aged individuals are related to metabolic disturbances and aerobic capacity: a cross-sectional study.
<h4>Aims</h4>Metabolic disturbances may contribute to cognitive dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. We investigated the relation between cognitive impairment and metabolic deteriorations, low physical fitness, low-grade inflammation and abdominal obesity in middle aged individu...
