Popis: Aims To assess whether there is an opportune window when intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) benefits cognitive function. Methods Standardized cognitive assessments were collected following ≥8 years of either ILI or a control condition of diabetes support and education (DSE) in 3708 individuals, ages 45-76 years at enrollment, with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. Frailty index (FI) scores were used to group individuals at baseline into tertiles according to their age-related health status. Linear models were used to describe intervention adherence and cognitive function, with interaction terms to examine the consistency of relationships among tertiles. Results Worse baseline FI scores were associated with poorer subsequent performance in tests of attention, processing speed, and executive function. No differences in any measure of cognitive function were observed between intervention groups within any FI tertile (all p > 0.10). Among individuals with worse baseline FI scores, weight gain was associated with poorer global cognitive function among participants assigned to DSE. There was no association between weight changes and cognitive function among participants assigned to ILI. Conclusions Among adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity, we found no evidence that there is a window of opportunity based on FI when ILI benefits cognitive function.
