Abstract: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is increasingly linked to cognitive decline, which is a significant public health concern. Evidence suggests that individuals with T2DM are at a higher risk of cognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. This association may be due to several factors, such as hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and vascular dysfunction. Regular physical activity has emerged as a promising intervention for improving cognitive function in individuals with T2DM. Exercise can enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and promote neurogenesis. Additionally, it can improve cardiovascular health, which is crucial for brain health.
