| Popis: | Background The presence of widespread lung microvascular circulation and abundant connective tissue with a large reserve raises the possibility that the lung may be a target organ of the pathologic processes induced by type 2 diabetes. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are noninvasive medical tests that show how well the lungs are working. Objective The aim was to compare pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and their associated factors among type 2 diabetic patients and non-diabetics at Jimma Medical Center (JMC). Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at JMC, Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia among 298 study participants from April 1 to May 30, 2019. A face-to-face interview with semi-structured questionnaire was conducted. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), ratio of FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow (PEF), and forced expiratory flow (FEF25-75) were recorded by using a digital Spirometer. Independent samples t-test, simple and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Results The present study indicated that means of the PFTs among type 2 diabetics were significantly reduced when compared to their matched non-diabetics (FVC (%) (m=73.7±13.8 vs m=93.8±12.3), FEV1 (%) (m=76.4±13.4 vs m=93.3±12.4), FEV1/FVC (%) (m=78.99±11.4 vs m=96.6±9.33), PEF (L/s) (m=3.91±0.28 vs m=5.03±0.35), and FEF25-75 (L/s) (m=2.89±0.75 vs m=3.39±0.82)). This study also indicated that body mass index (BMI) (β=-1.93, P |
