To systematically evaluate the correlation between serum osteocalcin levels and cognitive function status in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) patients. ⋯ Based on a meta-analysis of included studies, we concluded that there is a moderately strong positive correlation between serum osteocalcin levels and patients' cognitive function in T2D. An intervention to increase serum osteocalcin levels can contribute to delaying and improving cognitive decline in patients with T2D.

Continuous hemodialysis (HD) treatment causes many complications in patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the upper extremity functional capacity, physical activity level, and physical functions of patients receiving continuous HD treatment. Fifty HD patients and fifty healthy subjects were included in the study. ⋯ The number of individuals with low-level activity in the HD group (72%) was higher than the control group (34%) (P < .01). The maximum activity score score of the HAP (mean 68.7 ± 1.4) and the adjusted activity score of the HAP (mean 42.54 ± 3.02) were lower in the HD group (P < .0001). HD treatment adversely affects hand grip strength, the range of motion, upper extremity functions, physical activity, and physical function levels of the patients.
