^a Versus FEV₁/FVC ≥0.7 by logistic regression models for age, ethnicity, BMI, education, smoking, alcohol, and CR composite.

^b Reply of yes to any of 47 history and/or symptom items. The “yes” group included 108,400 study participants—22,993 (21%) with a ratio of <0.7; the “no” group included 69,237 study participants—10,539 (15%) with a ratio of <0.7.

^c p < 0.001.

BMI = body mass index; FEV₁/FVC = ratio of one-second forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity; ppd = pack(s) per day.
