Chi-square tests were used to test for differences between groups in binary variables. One-way ANOVA tests were performed to test for differences between groups in continuous variables.

PRISm, Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry23; COPD is defined by GOLD score ≥1; missing, 14 subjects were deemed ineligible for spirometry and thus did not have a defined GOLD status. These subjects were still included in analyses with other COPD phenotypes and the met-QTL analysis.

BMI, body mass index (kg/m2); FEV1/FVC, post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume at one second/forced vital capacity; FEV1pp, FEV1 percent predicted.
