2. Fig 1
Baseline FEV1 by categories of baseline BMI for men and women without airflow obstruction at baseline. Medians with Q1-Q3 are reported. The number of subjects in the BMI categories <20, , 25-30, and >30 kg/m2 are 12, 134, 71, and 7 (men) and 51, 182, 52, and 35 (women), respectively.

Plot of FEV1 decline vs baseline BMI, and of the curve representing the FEV1 decline predicted on the basis of a linear regression on BMI and BMI squared, in men and women without airflow obstruction at baseline.

Mean FEV1 decline (adjusted for all the covariates considered in the multivariate analysis) by categories of BMI gain (according to tertiles) for men and women without airflow obstruction at baseline. P value for trend: P < .001 (men) and P =.001 (women).
