Association between asthma and type 2 diabetes in a Swedish adult population: a register-based cross-sectional study
We found an association between asthma and type 2 diabetes that was sustained after adjusting for BMI, indicating that BMI alone does not explain this relationship. We also found that the two conditions coaggregate in siblings, indicating that the association is partly due to shared familial genetic and environmental risk factors.
