Background: This study aimed to investigate the role of air quality and pollution in pulmonary diseases exacerbation among 100 patients with type 2 diabetes. The study included data on air quality parameters such as PM10 and SO2 concentrations, disease comorbidities such as COPD, respiratory tract infection, and asthma collected over a period of 12 months from January 2020 to January 2021. The results of the study indicated that the prevalence of exacerbations of pulmonary diseases was significantly higher in patients with poor air quality (P<0.001). Moreover, patients with comorbid respiratory tract infection and COPD had higher rates of exacerbations in comparison with those without such diseases (P<0.001). In conclusion, this study demonstrated that air pollution is associated with increased exacerbations of pulmonary disease in type 2 diabetes. Thus, air quality should be taken into consideration when treating type 2 diabetes patients, especially those with comorbid respiratory disease. Objectives: To study the role of air quality and pollution in pulmonary diseases exacerbation in type 2 diabetes. And identify the air quality parameters associated with pulmonary diseases exacerbation in type 2 diabetes. And explain the relationship between comorbid respiratory diseases and air quality in patients with type 2 diabetes.
