Discussion

Cross-sectional study reveals lower pulmonary function in diabetic mine workers, suggesting health risks linked to silica exposure.

Diabetic mine workers exhibited significantly lower FEV1 and FVC compared to non-diabetics, indicating impaired lung function.
The study analyzed data from 215 mine workers in Gujarat, focusing on pulmonary function and diabetes.
Linear regression identified male gender and work experience as key predictors of pulmonary function.
The findings may inform workplace health programs, emphasizing diabetes screening and respiratory assessments.

Tank et al. (2025) studied this question.
