Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Vascular Brain Ageing

2型糖尿病与主血管硬化有关，这可能会将有害的压力传递到大脑的小血管。这可能反过来导致脑细胞受损和痴呆症的风险增加。这项研究将使用最先进的技术来测试这一理论。如果这是真的，它可能会打开机会，以减少脑疾病的风险，糖尿病通过使用治疗，以减少动脉硬化。

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is associated with stiffening of major blood vessels which may allow the transmission of harmful pressure to the small vessels of the brain. This may in turn be responsible for damage to brain cells and a greater risk of dementia. This study will use state-of-the art techniques to test this theory. If true, it may open opportunities to reduce the risk of brain disease in diabetes by using therapies to reduce arterial stiffening.
