  • Data are presented as β (95% CI). #: n=446; : n=314. 25(OH)D: 25-hydroxyvitamin D; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; % pred: % predicted; FVC: forced vital capacity. Multiple linear regression models adjusted for body mass index, education, social benefits, economic difficulties, season, physical activity, smoking status, asthma medication, inhaled corticosteroid. Multiple linear regression models for FEV1/FVC ratio were also adjusted for age and height.
