Primary care attendees represented members of the general population of Ireland. An interviewer\u2010administered questionnaire was used to gather data on respondents\u2019 awareness of brain complications of diabetes and modifiable risk factors for dementia. Multivariable logistic regression was undertaken to identify variables independently associated with awareness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Respondents included a total of 502 adults: 250 in the diabetes group (37% women, mean age 63 \u00b1 14 years, 88% with Type 2 diabetes) and 252 in the general population group (51% women, mean age 47 \u00b1 17 years, 7% with Type 2 diabetes). The diabetes group had significantly greater awareness of diabetes complications, except for depression, compared with the general population group. In the group as a whole, respondent awareness of dementia (35%) and memory problems (47%) as potential complications of diabetes was poor compared with awareness of kidney (84%) and eye damage (84%). Respondents were 1.5 times more likely to identify that individuals can modify their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than their risk of dementia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study shows that there is poor awareness of brain complications of diabetes among individuals with diabetes and the general population in Ireland. The results suggest a need for expansion of public awareness campaigns and diabetes education programmes to promote awareness of the brain complications of diabetes and of the modifiable risk factors for dementia, as part of a life\u2010course approach to dementia prevention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/dme.13639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,13]],"date-time":"2018-04-13T18:55:26Z","timestamp":1523645726000},"page":"871-879","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Brain complications of diabetes mellitus: a cross\u2010sectional study of awareness among individuals with diabetes and the general population in Ireland"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7694-0283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.","family":"Dolan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Dublin Trinity College Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Glynn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Service Executive Public Health and Epidemiology Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Griffin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Dublin Trinity College Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Conroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology St James' Hospital Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Loftus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Loftus Medical Centre Primary Care Boyle Roscommon Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.
