  • A model without 25-OHD (ng/ml) as an explanatory variable is compared with a model in which 25-OHD was included. Non-significant covariates quit-years, gender and rs7041 (in the model with 25-OHD) are listed in the table but not included in the final represented model.

  • COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; 25-OHD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
