  1. The data are expressed as the means (standard deviations, SDs) and percentages
  2. BMI, body mass index; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ESMA, cross-sectional erector spinae muscle area; ESMD, erector spinae muscle density; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC, forced vital capacity; ICS, inhaled corticosteroid; LAV, low attenuation volume; LLN, lower limits of normal; SAD, small airway dysfunction; TAC, total airway count
