FIGURE 1 FEV1 (% predicted) versus small airway lumen perimeter (mm) in cases and controls combined (n = 234). The rank order (Spearman) correlations between FEV1 (% predicted) versus small airway lumen perimeter (mm) are 0.50 in the case group, 0.55 in the control group, and 0.53 in both groups combined.

FIGURE 2 Box plots showing lung fraction <−910 HU in cases and controls combined, subgrouped according to visual emphysema. The line segment and plus (+) symbol within each box identify the median and mean, respectively. The lower and upper borders of each box identify the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The lower whisker (lower fence) extends to the minimum observation ≥25th percentile minus 1.5 times the interquartile range. The upper whisker (upper fence) extends to the maximum observation ≤75th percentile plus 1.5 times the interquartile range. No subject had a lung fraction <−910 HU measurement less than the lower fence or greater than the upper fence.
