Data are presented as partial correlations for DXA-derived variables adjusted for age and height. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC: forced vital capacity; TLC: total lung capacity; RV: residual volume; FRC: functional residual capacity; ERV: expiratory reserve volume. *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001.
