Data are mean ± SD unless otherwise stated. IOS, impulse oscillometry; FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in the first second; FEF25–75%, forced expiratory flow at 25–75% of FVC; R5, resistance at 5 Hz; R20, resistance at 20 Hz; R5–R20, heterogeneity of resistance between R5 and R20; X5, reactance at 5 Hz; Fres, resonant frequency; AX, the area under reactance curve between 5 Hz and resonant frequency; SD, standard deviation.
