Zusammenfassung: | Aims/Introduction
To examine the association between cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of serum high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) and cognitive function and brain structures in older people with diabetes mellitus.
Materials and Methods
Participants of a randomized placebo‐controlled trial of 27‐month vitamin B12 supplementation in older people with diabetes mellitus, which showed no effect on cognition, were further followed up at month 72. Cognitive tests included the Clinical Dementia Rating scale, Neuropsychological Test Battery in memory, executive function and psychomotor speed. Brain magnetic resonance imaging scans were carried out in a subset at baseline, month 27 and month 45. Fasting serum at baseline, month 9, month 27 and month 72 were analyzed for adenosine triphosphate‐binding cassette transporter A1‐mediated CEC of HDL and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1).
Results
Serum HDL cholesterol at baseline was associated with better executive and memory function at follow up. Serum ApoA1 was associated with a better memory Z‐score at month 18. Serum CEC and ApoA1 were not associated with Clinical Dementia Rating scale, Neuropsychological Test Battery, hippocampal volume and white matter disease on magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and whole brain atrophy rates. They were also not associated with cognitive function at month 27 and 72 on multilevel modeling. CEC and ApoA1 decreased significantly from baseline to month 27. Faster decliners in CEC had a greater increase in brain peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity.
Conclusions
Higher serum HDL cholesterol was associated with more favorable changes in memory and executive function in older people with diabetes mellitus. However, this was not due to CEC or ApoA1. A decline in CEC was associated with small vessel disease in the brain.
Our study showed that higher serum HDL was associated with more favourable changes in executive and memory function in older people with diabetes mellitus (DM), but HDL function as estimated by ABCA1‐mediated cholesterol efflux capacity was not significantly associated with cognitive function or structural brain changes in older people with DM. |
