Definition of abbreviations: COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FHS = Framingham Heart Study; FVC = forced vital capacity; GOLD = Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; KORA = Kooperative Gesundheitsforschung in der Region Augsburg (Southern Germany); LSC = Lovelace Smokers Cohort; MESA = Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis; PRISm = preserved ratio impaired spirometry; SD = standard deviation; SPIROMICS = Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study.

Entries represent n (%) unless otherwise noted. PRISm defined as FEV1/FVC ⩾ 0.7 and FEV1 % predicted according to Hankinson equations < 80%.
