Logistic regression models for IPF with race, age, and sex as covariates. Individual models are for the sample as a whole and for each subgroup stratified on deciles of age.

Covariates Model for sample as whole n=38,357,405 with IPF=251,058 Model for decedents 50y ≤ age < 60y n=3,607,782 with IPF=13,917 Model for decedents 60y ≤ age < 70y n=6,281,453 with IPF=38,181 Model for decedents 70y ≤ age < 80y n=10,686,749 with IPF=85,616 Model for decedents ≥ 80y n=17,781,421 with IPF=113,344
