Prevalence of self-reported memory problems in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cancer in the USA.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of memory problems in individuals with or without a history of DM and cancer and assess possible compounding effects of these diseases on self-reported memory problems (SRMP).

Methods: We used data from the 2009-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We conducted logistic regression analyses to determine the associations among DM, cancer, and SRMP, adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, and poverty level.
