  1. Data are presented as n (%) except as noted.
  2. *Reference category.
  3. Adjusted for age, sex, pack-years and years of asbestos exposure.
  4. The changes were considered as subnormal if the emphysema subtype score was < 1 (< 2 in emphysema sum score).
  5. §The changes were considered as pathological if the emphysema subtype score was ≥ 1 (≥ 2 in emphysema sum score).
