Brief Summary: Individuals with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing cognitive dysfunction followed by dementia in late life Obesity physical inactivity and systemic low-grade inflammation are strong risk factors and play a crucial role in this network of diseases

Brain-derived Neurotrophic factor BDNF is produced in brain as well as several tissues outside brain eg muscle cells Low BDNF are associated with cognitive dysfuction obesity and type 2 diabetes

The investigators include 200 individuals divided into three groups 80 individuals with type 2 diabetes 80 age and BMI-matched controls and 40 individuals with impaired glucose tolerance

The project will test the hypothesis that low systemic BDNF are associated with accumulation of abdominal fat cognitive dysfunction and insulin resistence with different effect in men and women
Detailed Description: Methods

200 individuals in age 40-65 years are recruited and categorized into 3 groups 1 Type 2 Diabetes 2 Impaired glucose Tolerance and 3 Normal Glucose Tolerance Groups are supposed to be age and BMI-matched

Measurements of systemic BDNF cogntive function memory attention and langue fitness bodycomposition glucose metabolism and systemic inflammation are done

Multiple regression analysis are perfomed to explain variablity in cognitive function with age visceral fat and BDNF as explanotory varibales
