Figure 1

Relationship between degree of airflow obstruction expressed as percent of predicted FEV 1.0 and CFPE-index for type I and type IIa fibres; "black circle" = type I fibres (--- = regression line for type CFPE-index for type I fibres, r = 0.61, p < 0.001), "grey square"= type IIa fibres (-- = regression line for CFPE-index for type IIa fibres, r = 0.37, p = 0.04); FEV 1,0 = forced expiratory volume in one second; CFPE-index = quotient between individual capillary-to-fibre ratio and fibre perimeter.
