Forest plot showing the meta-analysis of the adjusted odds ratios for diabetes in participants with restricted spirometry compared to those without it adjusted for sex, age, BMI, smoking (pack-years and current status) and education. Heterogeneity chi-squared = 45.34, d.f. = 25 (p = 0.008). I-squared (variation in ES attributable to heterogeneity) = 44.9%. Estimate of between study variance Tau-squared = 0.622. Test for overall effect: Z = 7.77 (p < 0.001). The following sites could not be included in the analysis due to a low number of subjects reporting diabetes or singularity in the data: Cotonou (Benin), Guangzhou (China), Ife (Nigeria), Nampicuan Talugtug (Philippines), Naryn (Kyrgyztan), Pune (India), Srinagar (India)
