Association between lung function and future risks of diabetes, asthma, myocardial infarction, hypertension and all-cause mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) is a hallmark of disease progression in chronic obstructive lung diseases, little is known about the relationship between baseline FEV₁ and future risks of other medical conditions.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between baseline FEV₁ and future risks of diabetes, asthma, myocardial infarction, hypertension and all-cause mortality.

Methods

We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and its Epidemiological Follow-Up Study. Our data provided longitudinal follow-up of the original cohort for up to 12 years. We used two competing risks approaches, the cause-specific hazard model and the Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard m
