Definition of abbreviations: CCR2 = C-C chemokine receptor type-2; CI = confidence interval; RV = residual volume.
The percent predicted values of pulmonary function indices were included in the analysis other than percent FEV1/FVC ratio.
β represents a unit change in pulmonary function index with unit change in CCR2 expression on monocyte subsets.
Adjusted for serum high-density lipoprotein, with age, sex, ethnicity, and body mass index z score included as pertinent covariates. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed only when a significant association was observed between CCR2 expression on monocyte subsets and pulmonary function index in univariate analysis.
