*The z-proportions test was used to compute p-values for binary variables. The unpaired t-test was used to compute p-values for continuous data. Bolded text indicates a p-value < 0.05. Abbreviations: SGRQ, St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire; 6MWD, 6-min walk distance; TBV, total blood vessel volume; tBV5, ratio of vascular tree length in vessels with a cross-sectional area less than 5 mm2 to total vascular tree volume; trabecular.T12, average Hounsfield unit (HU) value within the trabecular region of the T12 vertebral body; cortical.T12, average Hounsfield unit (HU) value within the cortical region of the T12 vertebral body.
