Sažetak
Many recent studies show that, even if Diabetes mellitus (DM) did not increase the risk of incident Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in the Framingham cohort overall, DM may be a risk factor for AD in the absence of other known major AD risk factors. On the other hand, DM is a well known risk factor for developping Vascular Demencia (VaD). The aim of this study was to evaluate serum levels of glucose in patients with AD and VaD. 47 patients with diagnosis of dementia were included in this study. AD was diagnosed in 23 patients (12 male, 11 female) and VaD in 24 patients (6 male, 18 female). In the group of patients with diagnosed Alzheimer's dementia, 17 patients had glucose values within normal range, while 2 patients had impaired fasting glucose and 4 patients had elevated levels of glucose. Mean value of total plasma glucose in this group was 5, 92. In the group of patients with diagnosed vascular dementia, 15 patients had glucose values within normal range, while 2 patients had impaired fasting glucose and 7 patients had elevated levels of glucose. Mean value of glucose in this group was 6, 36. Glucose level in serum is higher in the group with vascular dementia but the difference is not statisticaly significant. Our results indicate that increase in serum glucose level is a risk factor for both type of dementia, although slightly more pronounced in patients with vascular dementia.
