Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between diabetes and cognitive impairment by olfactory function assessment and functional MRI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Previous research has shown both obesity and diabetes are associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Meanwhile, olfactory impairment is associated with incident (amnestic mild cognitive impairment) aMCI and progression from aMCI to (Alzheimer disease) AD dementia. On one hand, in the cross-sectional study, biometric measurements, cognitive assessment, olfactory function and fMRI results are analysed to explore the differences among T1DM patients, T2DM patients and non-diabetic people . One the other hand, in the longitudinal study, changes in olfactory function and fMRI results in diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients both at baseline and 6 months after their bariatric surgery are collected to investigate whether better glucose and weight control benefit brain function.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

These T1DM patients have late diabetes onset.(latent autoimmune diabetes in adult, LADA)

Cognitive assessment

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

functional magnetic resonance imaging

Intervention Type OTHER

olfactory function measurement

Intervention Type OTHER

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

A subgroup of these T2DM patients are obesity patients who will have the bariatric surgery. These obese T2DM subjects will undergo a physical exam, cognitive and olfactory test as well as structural and functional brain MRI at baseline and 6 months after their surgery.

Intervention Type OTHER

olfactory function measurement

Intervention Type OTHER

bariatric surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Only a subgroup of the subjects will have the bariatric surgery.

Control

A subgroup of these non-diabetic people are obesity patients who will have the bariatric surgery. These obese subjects will undergo a physical exam, cognitive and olfactory test as well as structural and functional brain fMRI at baseline and 6 months after their surgery.
