[Associated diabetes mellitus in occupational pulmonary diseases related to dust: risk factors]
Abstract:
The authors analysed 854 case histories of occupational bronchitis patients and 326 ones of vibration disease patients. Inpatient investigation covered 129 patients with occupational dust bronchitis and 25 patients with vibration disease. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 11.9 +/- 1.1% of the bronchitis examinees and in 6.7 +/- 1.4% of the vibration disease examinees. A total of 66.24 +/- 4.10% of the bronchitis examinees and 71.4 +/- 9.00% of the vibration disease examinees appeared to have family propensity to this endocrine condition. Factors actualizing such hereditary propensity in the bronchitis examinees could be respiratory failure (in 90.77%) and steroid therapy (in 21.5%).
