ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the incidence and influence factors of respiratory diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Methods One hundred patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with Alzheimer's disease were selected as the study group in our hospital from November 2015 to June 2017. One hundred type 2 diabetes without Alzheimer's disease who did physical examinations during this period were selected as the control group. We observed and compared the pulmonary functions and qualities of lives of each group, and used Logistic regression curve to do multivariate analysis. Results The number of patients with respiratory infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0. 05). The blood glucose levels of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P＜0. 05), and the qualities of lives of the study group were significantly worse than those of the control group (P＜0. 05). Age, living environment, complications and depression have influence on the incidence of respiratory diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease on some level. Conclusion The morbidity of respiratory diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease were high, and the quality of life, age, living environment and complications were factors that cause respiratory diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
