RESUMO
Aims: To investigate the correlation between glycaemic control with component of Physio-Cognitive Decline Syndrome (PCDS) and among each component of PCDS itself. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted (January 2021-November 2022) at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia on consecutively recruited T2DM outpatients aged 40-59 years old. Data on the latest three months HbA1c, hand grip strength (HGS), usual gait speed (GS), and Indonesian Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina) were evaluated. Pearson or Spearman's test was used to analyse the correlations. Results: There were 133 subjects with median age 53 (40-59) years. The PCDS was found in 48.1 % subjects, of which 64.1 % with uncontrolled glycaemia. Significant correlations were found between HGS and HbA1c (r = -0.24, R2 = 0.06, p < 0.01) and MoCA-Ina score (r = 0.21, R2 = 0.04, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The higher HbA1c and the lower MoCA-Ina score, the weaker handgrip strength was.
