a

IQR is used for calculating the estimate and 95% CI. Association analysis in the LSC was conducted based on longitudinal spirometry data using linear mixed effects model with adjustment for important covariates. Association analysis in the VSC was conducted based on baseline spirometry data using linear regression with adjustment for important covariates.

b

Assessment of total folate intake and folate equivalents includes all sources (ie, natural food, supplements, and fortified foods). Folic acid is from supplements and fortified foods. A total of 38% study subjects have missing data for trans-oleic fatty acid.

c

Estimate of intake without counting supplement.
