Association between Decline in Lung Function (Peak − Year 20) and Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction at Year 25

	OR for Diastolic Dysfunction (95% CI)*
N	31
Peak, Y20 FVC, L	3.39 (1.37–8.36)
	P = 0.006
Peak, Y20 FEV1/FVC	1.05 (0.99–1.11)
	P = 0.11

Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio; Y = Year.

Covariates: race–sex group, Y25 age, height at peak lung function, Y5 body mass index, Y25 − Y5 body mass index difference, lifetime smoking at Y25, number of years with diabetes, peak lung function (FVC or ratio).

^*Criteria: lateral e′ velocity < 9 cm/s, left atrial volume index > 28 ml/m², and E/e′ ratio > 12.
