Mean ± SD. BMI: body mass index; BF: body fat; FEV1: Forced Expiratory Volume in one second; FVC: Forced Vital Capacity; DLco: carbon monoxide transfer factor; Kco: carbon monoxide transfer coefficient. All parameters of lung function are expressed as mean percent predicted for age and height [64, 65]. aSignificant difference between Emphysema and IPF
