U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers, participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic follow-up study of 4380 men and women aged 25 to 74 years of data analyzed. The subjects were 1971 to 1975, received the first survey, and then follow-up study to 1992 to 1993. In the trace during the study period, a total of 443 people develop diabetes. Analysis showed that subjects suffering from diabetes as their lung function would be the weakening of the targets increased. The researchers noted that other studies are still needed to better understand the lung function impairment and diabetes relationship.
The researchers believe that, with the inflammatory lung disease may promote the development of diabetes, abnormal pulmonary function or lung disease may lead to diabetes, the risk factors. However, this process may be reversible, if it is the development of diabetes, impaired lung function, then the above changes should be seen as the risk of diabetes signs, rather than risk factors.
