About

Older people with DM are at greater risk of cognitive decline than their counterparts with DM. Cognitive impairment in older people with DM may be associated with non-AD related brain atrophy and white matter disease. The investigators therefore propose to compare DM and non-DM older people with amnesic MCI in brian volumes, white matter disease and amyloid load.

30 older people with aMCI, 30 older people with aMCI and DM, age 65-85 will be recruited. They all will have amyloid PET scan and MRI brain scan.

Sex: All

Ages: 65 to 85 years old
