Prevalence of Lung Dysfunction in Type II Diabetes Mellitus

The pulmonary function test was also used in this study as a screening tool to detect Lung Dysfunction in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetic patients. This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital. This study involved 100 patients, including 41 males and 59 females ranging in age from 23 to 75 years old, who underwent spirometry after providing their consent for the study. FEV1 and FVC absolute values were compared to predicted values and represented as a percentage of predicted values. The current study's data were analysed with SPSS 15.0, and the results are reported in Descriptive Statistics such as Frequency, Percentage, Range, Mean, Standard Error (Mean), and 95 percent Confidence Interval. The current findings demonstrated that the prevalence of Lung Dysfunction was 63 (64.9%) when the duration of diabetes was less than 5 years, compared to 23 ( 23.7%) when the length was more than 5 years. With a Chi Square value of 3.85 (P=0.05), this revealed a statistically significant difference.
