Definition of abbreviation: FHS = Framingham Heart Study; ILA = interstitial lung abnormalities.

*

P values for all analyses, both adjusted and unadjusted, are calculated using general linear models to account for familial relationships in the FHS. No ILA, n = 579; ILA without progression, n = 28; and ILA with progression, n = 72. Values are linear regression coefficients ± SE, representing the additional decline in spirometry in participants with ILA with progression versus the comparison group.

Adjusted analyses include additional adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, pack-years smoking, and current smoking status.
