FIGURE 2.
Impact of pulmonary function impairment on functional limitation (skeletal muscle strength), California, 2005-2007. The figure depicts scatterplots of the relation with the fitted regression line. Part A shows the relation between quadriceps strength and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). The remaining parts depict the association between the following muscle groups and FEV1: part B, hip flexor strength; part C, hip abductor strength; part D, elbow flexor strength; and part E, grip strength.
