VGDF: vapour, gas, dust and fume. #: random effect logistic regression adjusted for pack-year group (<10, 10–20 and >20 smoked pack-years), age group (45–54, 55–64, 65–74 and 75–84 years of age) and general practice (random variable); ¶: missing values for VGDF exposure (n=120), spirometry (n=8) and, VGDF and spirometry n=1; +: missing values for organic dust exposure (n=344), spirometry (n=7), and organic dust and spirometry (n=2). Bold indicates statistical significance beyond the level of 5%.
