This study followed 6483 adults within community-based cohorts for 16 years, and investigated cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in lung function according to diabetes status. Individuals with diabetes or prediabetes had lower baseline lung function as well as faster decline over time, resulting in an increased prevalence of ventilatory disorders.
