Controlling for age, smoking status, race, WTC exposure level, height, and FEV1% predicted at time of biomarker measurement in weighted least squares regression using 1/SE of individual FEV1 decline rates.
The number of biomarker concentration doubling from the 10th to 90th percentile: 3.5 for IL‐4, 2.8 for IL‐5, 3.2 for IL‐13, 1.8 for IFN‐γ, and 2.0 for TNF‐α.
