  1. All the results were from the multiple linear regression analysis, in which the dependent variable was %FEV1. Pack-year of smoking was calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarette smoked per day and the number of years of smoking. Restrictive lung function was defined as FEV1/FVC ≥ 70% and %FVC < 80%, either before or after salbutamol inhalation.
  2. # In model 1, the association between %FEV1 and pack-years of smoking was adjusted for by gender, race and restrictive lung diseases. R2 = 0.210 in all the subjects and R2 = 0.084 in smokers.
  3. ## In model 2, the association between %FEV1 and pack-years of smoking was adjusted for by race and restrictive lung diseases. R2 = 0.209 in all the subjects and R2 = 0.080 in smokers.
  4. * p < 0.05 for β coefficient. **p < 0.01 for β coefficient.
