Higher blood glucose levels were associated with brain atrophy among
healthy individuals in their early 60s, even when levels remained within
the official normal range, an Australian study demonstrated.
After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, alcohol use, smoking, and APOE genotype, the associations between glucose and left and right hippocampal volumes were −131 and −148 (P=0.001
for both), with a positive association reflecting less atrophy,
according to Nicolas Cherbuin, PhD, of Australian National University in
Canberra, and colleagues.
