theDSE group during the intervention period.During 5 years spanning the intervention’s end and post-intervention follow-up, repeated cognitive assessments were obtained in 1,091 individuals who had been assigned to ILI or DSE. Results:Compared with DSE, assignment to ILI was associated with a mean 0.082 standard deviation (SD) relative deficit in global cognitive function (p1⁄40.010) over time. However, overweight (body mass index <30 kg/m) ILI participants had mean [95% confidence interval] 0.099 [-0.006,0.259] SD better composite cognitive function scores across follow-up while obese (body mass index >30 kg/m) ILI participants had -0.117 [-0.185, -0.049] worse mean composite cognitive function scores (interaction p1⁄40.014). For both overweight and obese participants, cognitive decline was steeper for ILI compared with DSE participants, with differences reaching nominal significance for tests of attention (p1⁄40.037) and memory (p1⁄40.031), andmarginal significance for composite cognitive function (p1⁄40.068).Conclusions:Long-term behavioral weight loss intervention was not associated with lasting cognitive benefits in adults with type 2 diabetes, and potentially small relative mean deficits among individuals who are obese.
