COMP-DM

Our COMP-DM project aims to unravel the complex relationship between diabetes, multimorbidity, and cognitive function, and to evaluate how these interrelated conditions impact cardiometabolic and general health outcomes. The project will leverage data from the unique Health in Central Denmark (HICD) cohort, including 51,854 participants with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and non-diabetes controls, which provides an exceptional opportunity to disentangle these converging conditions and examine their distinct trajectories.

What is cognitive testing?

Cognitive testing uses short tasks to learn about thinking skills such as remembering information, paying attention, and solving problems.

In COMP-DM, we plan to invite participants from the Health in Central Denmark study to complete short online tasks using KogniKit, a game-based research tool. By repeating the assessment over time, we aim to understand how thinking skills change and how those changes relate to diabetes and other long-term health conditions.
