All IOS measures are log-transformed and analyses are adjusted for use of both substances and also adjusted for body mass index, height and the relevant IOS measure at age 38 years (e.g. resistance at 5 Hz (R5) at 38 years is the adjustment for age 45 years R5); statistically significant associations are bolded. β-values are standardised regression coefficients, which represent the standard deviation difference in IOS measure associated with each standard deviation change in joint- or pack-years. R20: resistance at 20 Hz; R5R20: difference between R5 and R20; X5: reactance at 5 Hz; AX: area under the reactance curve between 5 Hz and resonant frequency (fres).
