Values are mean±SD; BMI=Body mass index; FVC=forced vital capacity; FEV1= Forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEF50=Forced expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity; MVV= Maximum voluntary ventilation; AA genotype= homozygous for SCNN1A resulting in alanine at amino acid 663; AT/TT genotype= at least one copy of SCNN1A resulting in threonine at amino acid 663;
p<0.05 between groups.
