Respiratory Health Effects Associated with Restoration Work in Post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans

Table 4

Study cohort group averages for % predicted pulmonary function parameters, by smoking status, and performance of restoration work, post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, 2005–2010.

% predicted lung function; -mean (S.E.)-	Current smokers:  restoration work  after Katrina? (n)		Ex- & never smokers:  restoration work  after Katrina? (n)
	No (48)	Yes (155)	No (148)	Yes (406)
% P FEV1	95.3 (1.8)	92.7 (1.4)	95.0 (1.3)	96.4 (0.7)
% P FVC	96.2 (1.8)	94.9 (1.2)	94.9 (1.3)	95.1 (0.7)
% P FEV1/FVC	98.9 (1.0)	97.2 (0.8)	99.7 (0.7)	101.1 (0.4)

S.E.: standard error of the mean; %P FEV1: %predicted forced expiratory volume-1 second; %P FVC: %predicted forced vital capacity; %P FEV1/FVC: %predicted FEV1-FVC-ratio.
