“…A close connection has been demonstrated between TyG and DM-2, endothelial dysfunction, SH, CVD, and stroke [11,24] According to experts, the normal cut-off values of TyG vary widely between 4 and, due to the location of 2 in the TyG index formula [7][8][9]. The obtained scores may provide information related to the presence or not of elements of depression and/or CD [32,33].…”

(1) Background: Cognitive decline (CD), considered a precursory state of dementia, is frequently encountered in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM-2) and might even have a higher prevalence in those with associated atrial fibrillation (AF). In this study, we aimed to research if the association of DM-2 and AF favors a precocious onset of CD. (2) Methods: This study was conducted on 160 patients, featuring 50 with DM-2, 54 with DM-2 and AF, and 56 subjects without DM-2 and AF, all evaluated clinically and with five neuropsychiatric scales. (3) Results: The Mini-Mental-State-Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Activities of Daily Living Score (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Score (IADL), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) were significantly altered in patients with DM-2 and AF in comparison to patients without these diseases. The logistic regression model indicated that, in patients with DM-2 and AF, an increase of one year in age is associated with a 7.3% augmentation of the risk of a precocious onset of CD (MMSE < 27). (4) Conclusions: CD is more frequent in patients with DM-2, especially when associated with AF, versus those without DM-2 and AF. Our findings suggest that an older age and associated dyslipidemia represent risk factors for CD in patients with DM-2.

“…Scores below 4 are considered normal, those between 5 and 8 indicate mild depression, scores between 9 and 11 indicate moderate depression, and scores between 12 and 15 indicate elements of severe depression. The obtained scores may provide information related to the presence or not of elements of depression and/or CD [ 32 , 33 ].…”
