Values are the . BMI = body mass index; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; SpO₂ = oxygen saturation; TC = total cholesterol; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; FVC = forced vital capacity; FEV₁ = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEF_25-75 = forced expiratory flow.
