Results are expressed as means and standard deviations for numeric variables and as number and percentages for categorical ones. FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second; CAD, coronary artery disease; CVD, cerebrovascular disease; DLCO%, carbon monoxide lung diffusion capacity; SWD, shuttle walk distance.
