Diabetes Ups Risk of Mild Memory Trouble
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study suggests that diabetes is a significant risk factor for a type of memory problem that doctors call "amnestic mild cognitive impairment."
纽约路透健康---一项新的研究提出，糖尿病是以及一类记忆问题的最重要的危险因素，医生所谓的“记忆缺失”轻度认知障碍
While occasionally forgetting names or misplacing objects are signs of normal forgetfulness, continual forgetfulness may be a sign of amnestic mild cognitive impairment, which is considerably more serious, experts say.
专家说，虽然偶尔忘记姓名或将物品放错地方，是正常健忘的一个征兆，但持续的健忘，可能就是，记忆缺失轻度认知障碍的征兆，这是相当严重的
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment is thought to represent a transitional stage between normal memory and thinking and the impairment seen with Alzheimer's disease, Dr. Jose A. Luchsinger, from Columbia University in New York, and colleagues note in the Archives of Neurology for April.
纽约哥伦比亚大学Dr. Jose A. Luchsinger教授说，记忆缺失轻度认知障碍被认为是表现正常记忆和思维之间过渡阶段，这种损害见于阿茨海默尔氏病Alzheimer's
In an earlier study, the researchers had tied diabetes to Alzheimer's disease and dementia. In their latest study, they focused on the possible link with mild cognitive impairment, especially "amnestic MCI."
早期研究中，研究人员将糖尿病，阿茨海默尔氏病和痴呆联系在一起，近来的研究，他们又把焦点集中在与记忆缺失轻度记忆障碍"amnestic MCI."可能有关
Their study involved 918 subjects, older than 65 years, who had no evidence of cognitive dysfunction at the outset. Cognitive testing and physical examinations were performed at the start of the study and then again every 18 months.
他们研究了918个65岁以上的病人，开始时没有认知功能障碍，研究开始就进行认知试验和身体检查，以后每18个月进行一次
During an average of about 6 years, 160 subjects developed amnestic MCI.
平均大约6年，160个人出现记忆缺失轻度记忆障碍"amnestic MCI."
Diabetes, which was present in nearly 24 percent of the subjects, was associated with a 1.5-fold increased risk of developing amnestic MCI, the team reports.
研究小组报告，将近24%的人患糖尿病，该病发生记忆缺失轻度记忆障碍"amnestic MCI." 的危险增加1.5倍
These results "provide further support to the potentially important independent role of diabetes" in the development of Alzheimer's disease, they conclude.
结论：这些结果对“糖尿病在阿茨海默尔氏病的发展过程中，单独的的潜在的重要作用提供了进一步的支持“
