Non-airline SHS Exposure | N (%) | %Predicted Diffusing Capacity * |
---|---|---|
None | 6 (13) | 75.8 ± 10.1 |
Childhood only | 11 (24) | 75.7 ± 11.5 |
Adulthood only | 12 (26) | 77.6 ± 11.2 |
Childhood & Adulthood | 17 (37) | 81.8 ± 11.7 |

Total | 46 (100) | 78.5 ± 11.3 |
Number of flight attendants in each category is reported as number (percentage) and diffusing capacity is reported as mean ± SD. Data was available for 46 flight attendants only. Significance based on one-way ANOVA for differences in the means of diffusing capacity between categories was p<0.50.
Adulthood exposure included domestic and occupational sources of exposure.
