Author(s): Ruth Kortei*
A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess pulmonary function in adults diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Participants were categorized into two groups based on body mass index (BMI): those with obesity (BMI = 30 kg/m²) and those without obesity (BMI < 30 kg/m²). Standardized pulmonary function tests, including spirometry and lung volume measurements, were employed to evaluate respiratory parameters. Demographic and clinical data, including diabetes duration and glycemic control, were also collected. The analysis included adults with Type 2 diabetes, with classified as obese. Comparative analysis revealed that individuals with obesity exhibited a significant reduction in various pulmonary function parameters compared to their non-obese counterparts. Specifically, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and total lung capacity (TLC) w.. View More»
