Readers:
Spring has sprung, but the weather is not improving as
I would have hoped. When the weather does improve I'm
looking forward to expanding my exercise activities to
the outdoor arena.
I'm looking forward to long, brisk walks, biking, swimming,
tennis and the list goes on.
I know that some of you out there are just as excited as I
am about taking advantage of the beautiful weather that is
headed our way. Don't try and deny it. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
And think warm thoughts.
Regards,
Steve

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."
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.
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.
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."
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.
During an average of about 6 years, 160 subjects developed
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.
These results "provide further support to the potentially
important independent role of diabetes" in the development
of Alzheimer's disease, they conclude.
