association with cognitive function: the coefficients for Groups 2, 3, and 4 were -.17, -.14, and -.20 respectively. Conclusions: There are significant interaction effects of having both DM and poor oral health on cognitive function. The negative effects on cognitive function were stronger with both conditions than with either one of the two conditions. This study suggests the importance of prevention and management of DM and poor oral health in order to improve cognitive health in older adults.
