✅ Association between measures of kidney function and preserved ratio impaired spirometry in diabetes: NHANES 2007-2012

Health

Objectives This study aimed to examine the relationship between measures of kidney function and impaired lung function in individuals with diabetes and to assess all-cause mortality risk associated with having chronic kidney disease (CKD) and or impaired lung function. Design Cross-sectional and retrospective cohort study. Setting The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2012. Participants A total of 10 809 participants aged over 20 years were included in this study: 9503 with normal spirometry, 951 with preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and 355 with variable obstruction (VO). Exposure and outcome measures Kidney function measures, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR), were considered exposure variables.
