What is Assessing the Association of Diabetes with Lung Cancer Risk about?
## Background Diabetes is a well-established risk factor for many cancers, but its relationship with lung cancer incidence remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess if diabetes is independently associated with lung cancer risk and histology subtype among participants in a screening study. ## Methods In a retrospective cohort study using data from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) study, we assessed the association of self-reported diabetes with lung cancer incidence using Poisson regression while adjusting for other established risk factors in the PLCOM2012, a validated lung cancer prediction model. The adjusted association of diabetes and lung cancer cell type was evaluated using nominal regression. Stratified analyses were also conducted according to sex, smoking history, and body mass index categories. ## Results Overall, 140,395 participants were included in our analysis. Diabetes was not significantly associated with lung cancer incidence [incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91–1.17]. Similarly, stratified analyses also did not show significant associations between diabetes and lung cancer risk (all P values >0.05). We fo
