Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cerebral small vessel disease / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

With the aging of the population, the incidence of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing year by year. Studies have shown that CSVD is associated with T2DM. Therefore, intervention of T2DM may prevent and control the progression of CSVD and improve cognitive function in patients with CSVD. This article reviews the correlation between T2DM and different phenotypes of CSVD and its mechanism.
