  • 2

    MCI is an intermediate state between normal aging and dementia, characterized by mild cognitive deficits while daily living activities remain intact.

  • 3

    Early identification of sentinel factors for MCI in T2DM patients is crucial for delaying cognitive decline and implementing targeted interventions.

  • 4

    Network analysis offers a novel approach to explore complex interactions between risk factors for MCI in T2DM, identifying core regulatory nodes.

  • 5

    This review provides a comprehensive framework for early screening and intervention strategies to prevent MCI in patients with T2DM.
