Notes: *Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn test. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in the first second. FVC: forced vital capacity. FEF 25–75: forced expiratory flow. DIQ, interquartile deviation. P25/P75: 25th and 75th percentiles. CV, coefficient of variation. †Statistically significant. Equal superscript letters indicate the groups that showed statistically significant differences from each other.
