Loss of Lung Function	Fibrinogen Quartile (Year 7)
(Year 5 minus Year 20)	1	2	3	4	Beta^†	P
FEV₁ (mL)	446	456	464	487	0.333	<0.001
FVC (mL)	398	14	441	439	0.418	<0.001

*Adjusted for center, race-sex group, age, age-squared, height, and height-squared at year 20 [19], BMI at the time of fibrinogen or CRP measurement, change in waist circumference from year 7 to year 20, cumulative pack-years of cigarette smoking, and year 5 lung function.
