  1. * Logarithmic scale.
  2. A negative β-coefficient indicates an inverse relationship; whereas a positive β-coefficient indicates a positive linear relationship between the two variables.
  3. Abbreviations : CC16 – Clara cell protein-16, CRP – C-reactive protein, FEV1 – forced expiratory volume in one second, SPD – surfactant protein D.
