IL6 and diabetes mellitus: Multivariate linear models testing independent associations among adiposity parameters (BMI, WHR, WC, Total fat mass), chronic inflammation(IL-6) and cognitive tests (MMSE, CCS) showed that MMSE was associated with WHR (β = −0.240;p = 0.043), WC (β = −0.264;p = 0.041) and IL-6 concentrations(β = −0.172;p = 0.014), while CCS was associated with WHR(β = −0.238;p = 0.041), WC(β = −0.326;p = 0.013), IL-6 concentrations(β = −0.188;p = 0.007), and total fat mass(β = −0.272;p = 0.033) after adjusting for age, sex and years of education in DM participants.
