Abstract
Results: After adjusting for potential confounders including passive smoking, lower FEV1 and FVC were associated with higher cIMT in both men and women (P＜0.001 for linear trend). This association was confirmed even when we restricted our study to never smokers. Furthermore, even when we stratified by age, an inverse association between lung function and cIMT was confirmed in middle-aged (40–64 years) and elderly participants (65–74 years).
