  • *Variable analysed in 100 mL increments.

  • †ΔFVC analysed in 100 mL increments, with HR of <1. In the Abstract and Results sections, ΔFVC was analysed in 100 mL decrements, with HR >1.

  • BMI, body mass index; DLCO, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second/forced expiratory volume; ΔFVC, change in forced vital capacity; FVC, forced vital capacity; HRCT, high-resolution CT; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; LOXL2, lysyl oxidase-like 2; SGRQ, St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire.
