Popis: Abstract Background Hyperglycemia is believed to be a risk factor for cognitive decline, but the longitudinal relationship between hyperglycemia and cognitive decline in the Japanese population is unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the association between blood glucose levels and information processing ability in middle-aged and older adults. Methods The subjects were 866 men and 815 women aged 40–79 years not taking medication for diabetes who participated in the first study wave (1997–2000) and then participated at least once in the subsequent six study waves (2000–2012) of the National Institute for Longevity Sciences—Longitudinal Study of Aging, Japan.
