People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are more likely to develop asthma, and vice versaaccording to an analysis of data from 17 million people who have come presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid this Tuesday. The work was published in ‘Diabetolgia’ and was led by Nam Nguyen, from the Department of Medicine at Taipei Medical University in Taiwan.
The results of the study show the importance of tuberculosis when diagnosing type 2 diabetes and type 2 diabetes when diagnosing asthma. “Global rates of asthma and type 2 diabetes, both common health problems, is increasing« Nam Nguyen warned. »These conditions negatively affect the quality of people’s lives. and is expected to generate increasing medical and economic weight. However, the evidence linking the two conditions and the mechanisms behind this connection are unclear, revealing need for extensive research about their relationship.”
To explore the connection and possible contributing factors, Dr. Nguyen did it A systematic review and meta-analysis of existing research on topic. Four medical journal databases were searched comprehensively for studies looking at the link between asthma and type 2 diabetes. included data from 17 million people from 14 studies conducted in various regions and countries, including Europe (United Kingdom, Finland, Denmark), America (United States) and Asia (Korea, Singapore, China and Israel). Most of the participants were aged, between 50 and 70 years.
The results show that Asthma and diabetes are closely relatedIndividuals with asthma are 28% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those without asthma and individuals with type 2 diabetes are almost twice as likely (83% more) to develop asthma. -asthma than those without type 2 diabetes may have some underlying causes or have other factors in common.
The following analysis shows that various factors, including hypertension and dyslipidemia (unhealthy levels of blood fats, such as cholesterol), appears to be is associated with an increased risk of asthma and type 2 diabetes. Asthma severity has been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and the risk increases as activity worsens. However, the duration of asthma was not associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes.
In this regard, Nguyen said: “Our findings have important implications for clinical practice. First of all, This relationship highlights the need for greater awareness among patients with type 2 diabetes or asthma and their healthcare providers. Second, preventive measures should be considered to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in people with asthma. For example, detecting and treating prediabetes in asthma patients quickly before it turns into type 2 diabetes, or Carefully monitor the use of systemic corticosteroidswhich may not cause hyperglycemia temporarily, but is also linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in addition, the possibility Dissection of mechanistic pathways between asthma and type 2 diabetes proposed by our study offers a new framework for research,” he concluded.
