ICTP = collagen type I carboxy-terminal telopeptide, PIIINP = procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide, ILA = interstitial lung abnormalities.

All covariates measured at baseline examinations in 2000–2002. Analyses account for inverse probability weighting for case sampling. SD for ICTP was 1.33. SD for PIIINP was 1.54.
