Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Elderly patients in diabetes mellitus are associated with cognitive impairment and dementia. The cognitive impairment makes them difficult to do their self-care activities such as diet, exercise, insulin injections. The cognitive decline in diabetic people has been a major social problem. Insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress in brain have been proposed to be the mechanism for Alzheimer's disease. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione derivative, may have favorable actions on brain such as improvement of insulin resistance, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant actions. Pioglitazone also inhibits the progression of catotid atherosclerosis and increases cerebral blood flows. Therefore, we will examine whether pioglitazone prevents the cognitive decline in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a randomized controlled trial.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Cognitive decline (more than 20% decline of cognitive function test: MMSE, ADAS, digit symbol test, logical memory, trail-making test, or 10 words delayed recall or at least one stage worsing of CDR) or development of dementia (probable Alzheimer's disease based on the ADRDA, or probable vascular dementia defined by the NINCDS-AIREN)

Key secondary outcomes

1.cognitive function (Z scores of MMSE, ADAS, digit symbol test, logical memory, trail-making test, and 10 words delayed recall), 2.cerebral blood flows by SPECT, 3.brain atrophy on MRI, 4.vascular comlications: non-fatal stroke, non-fatal IHD, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, progression of nephropathy, 5.carotid IMT and carotid artery stenosis, 6.ADL, depression, and fall, 7.incidence of hypoglycemia, 8.congestive heart failure, 9.HbA1c, serum glucose, lipids, insulin, adiponectin, waist circumference, RBC, and liver function

Interventions/Control_1

Elderly patients with diabetes mellitus are randomly allocated to one arm of the two groups as matched with respect to age, sex, HbA1c, treatment of diabetes.
1. Pioglitazone treatment group (7.5 mg to 45 mg daily)

Interventions/Control_2

2. Control group (treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs other than thiazolidinediones, mainly SU drugs)
The two groups are followed up over 5 years.
