- Abstract
Background: the association between the rheological factors haematocrit and plasma viscosity and cognitive ability has not been extensively studied. It is possible that blood viscosity affects cerebral blood flow and cognitive function. This study tested the contemporaneous associations between these two markers of rheology and cognitive ability and estimated lifetime cognitive change in an elderly population with type 2 diabetes.
