Risk of heart failure associated with rapid decline in lung function defined based on percentage of predicted FEV₁ stratified by follow-up time (≤ or > 1 year or 10 years)

≤1 year		p	> 1 year		p	≤10 year		p	> 10 year		p
Events	HR (95%CI)		Events	HR (95%CI)		Events	HR (95%CI)		Events	HR (95%CI)

FEV₁: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; HR (95%CI): hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval. HRs are from a fully adjusted Model 3: baseline FEV1, age, sex, race, height, ARIC center, body mass index, heart rate, low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, lipid-lowering medication, NT-proBNP, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking.
