TYPE 2 DIABETES
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cognitive dysfunction are highly prevalent and frequently coexist in older adults.Exercise is an essential component of the management programs advised for patients with T2D.Therefore, we designed a randomized clinical trial to explore the effectiveness of tai chi chuan in improving cognitive function of older adults with T2D and MCI compared with a fitness walking group and a control group. We hypothesized that tai chi chuan would play a better role in improving cognitive function of older adults with T2D and MCI.
