Results showed that there was a positive correlation between the concentration of 2 hour blood glucose with BMI and waist circumference in dementia patients (r = 0,287; p < 0,05 and r = 0,27; p < 0 05) There was an association between triglycerides and decreased HDL-C with im sired glucose tolerance (p < 0,05). There was no difference in age, gender hi he of hypertension and cerebral vascular accident between impaired glucose tol istory normal glucose tolerance group (p > 0,05). Screening impair glucose intol ner đi i associated factors should be done in dementia Patients in order t h erance anes monitor disease progression. O early diagnose and
