Initiation of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors results in a 35-percent reduced risk of dementia compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) aged 40–69 years, according to a study. In addition, greater benefits are seen with longer treatment duration.
