  1. Data are mean ± SE. AATD, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficient; AUG, augmentation therapy; PFTnorm, pulmonary function testing normal; AAT, alpha-1 antitrypsin; COPD, chornic obstructive pulmonary disease; DXA, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; m, male; f, female; Significance difference between group is denoted as follows, ‘a’ different that AATD + AUG, ‘b’ different that AATD-AUG, ‘c’ different compared to AATD PDTnorm, ‘d’ different compared to COPD, ‘e’ different compared to Healthy. In all cases, significance is p ≤ 0.05.
