Abstract

Respiratory health and chronic disease risks are prevalent concerns in agricultural communities in Northern Thailand, prompting an assessment of these issues among residents in Chiang Mai.

Logistic regression showed a significant increase in lung function impairment among participants with high to very high DM risk (aOR 9.06, p
