FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; TLC: total lung capacity; FRC: functional residual capacity; RV: residual volume; Raw: airway resistance; sGaw: specific airway conductance; TL,CO: transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide; VA: alveolar volume. Linear regression analyses of lung function at age 32 yrs using cannabis exposure as the predictor. Analyses are restricted to those without a tobacco smoking history. All analyses adjusted for sex and, except for FEV1/FVC and sGaw, for height. Analyses of TL,CO also adjust for exhaled carbon monoxide and blood haemoglobin. Coefficients represent the difference in lung function associated with each joint-year of cannabis up to age 32 yrs.
