  • *Adjusted OR: adjustments for age, sex, region and education plus history of asthma, and exposure to HAP and occupation and smoking status.

  • †Adjusted OR: adjusted OR except for smoking status.

  • ‡Assessed in small airway dysfunction with data missing for 86 participants.

  • HAP, household air pollution; TB, tuberculosis.
