A serious health issue is the rising number of individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Cognitive
declines have been linked to type 2 diabetes, according to numerous systematic
evaluations. But because of the wide range of approaches, standards, and outcomes
among various evaluations, it is challenging for researchers to compile a comprehensive
picture. In older adults, type 2 diabetes mellitus has been associated with cognitive
decline and a higher risk of dementia. The impact of diabetes on cognition in younger
people is less well understood. Examining potential disparities in executive function
between middle-aged type 2 diabetic patients and healthy controls was the aim of this
systematic review. The specific purpose of this systematic review is to examine the
nature and existence of the association between executive functions and Type 2 diabetes
among middle- aged individuals by examining cross-sectional studies to confirm any
indication of a potential causal relationship between these variables. The search for
studies comparing type 2 diabetes and cognitive function in patients under 65 to healthy
controls was conducted using electronic databases and lists of references from chosen
papers. The criteria for inclusion were met by six studies. In various areas of executive
function, patients underperformed compared to controls. These executive domains
differed in the direction of linkage, though. According to the findings, middle age may
be the onset for cognitive decline associated with diabetes rather than being limited to
older adults. It is imperative that healthcare systems prioritize the early identification
and treatment of diabetes-related cognitive decline
