Solid lines separate distinct models. Each model includes all exposure variables listed and is additionally adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, height, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking status, cigarette pack-years, glomerular filtration rate, diuretic use, statin use, presence of hypertension, presence of diabetes mellitus, coronary artery calcium, study site, milliampere dose, total volume imaged lung, percent emphysema on CT, interleukin-6 and c-reactive protein.

^*Reported per standard deviation in each exposure variable.
