Trajectories of rate of lung function decline (expressed as % predicted/yr) over age classified according to early, middle, and late phenotypes of rapid lung function decline. X marks the point of maximal FEV1 loss over age for each phenotype. Portions of the curve above and below the horizontal dashed line at zero imply that FEV1 is increasing and decreasing over age, respectively.
