  • The predicted FEV1 was estimated based on height and age. Model 2 covariates: age, sex, smoking status, smoking pack-years, alcohol status, daily alcohol intake, ethnicity, Townsend Deprivation Index, days exercised (walked, moderate and vigorous), body mass index, chronotype, length of working week, job asthma risk and job medical required. Model 3 data are adjusted for Model 2 covariates plus sleep duration.

  • FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s.
