Relation of glycemia and diabetes status with performance in executive abilities. Diabetes status was defined as normal glucose tolerance (NGT), pre-diabetes, and diabetes.
Model 1: Adjusted for age and gender | Model 2: also adjusted for education and Dominican origin. | Model 3: also adjusted for BMI, HDL cholesterol, Systolic BP, and hsCRP | ||||
