There is no indication about the sex and the age of the workers. As the percentage predicted values are taken into consideration, did you use any predictive equation, if so, what is it? The smokers are always seemed to be at the high risk of respiratory malfunctionings. Did you consider any other confounder, which have potential effects on the respiartory systems?
