IMPACT OF COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION AND ROLE OF PHYSICAL EXERCISES TO ENHANCE COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS AMONG SUBJECTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Diabetes has become a widespread epidemic, characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from an error in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both, and is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Studies reveal that diabetes is linked to long-term complications in the brain, which appear in the form of impaired cognitive ability compared to people without diabetes( Van Duinkerken et al 2020). Reduced physical performance is one of the most important problems faced by patients which has a direct relationship with an individual's cognitive ability. The study aims to analyse the direct and positive relationship between physical exercise and cognitive functions among people with type 2 diabetes, so this must be veried along with gaining a comprehensive understanding of cognitive impairment in diabetes and its effect on physical performance. vice versa. This study is based on the reviewed research results of various researchers. In this study, the term "cognitive impairment" in relation to diabetes refers to any deviation in cognitive performance compared to people without diabetes.
