Hunt: Dr. Hunt is a Co-Investigator on I AM OLD and guides the performance and analysis of inflammatory biomarkers in the study. He contributed to the interpretation of data. Kendall Gardner: Ms. Gardner is a clinical research coordinator for Dr. Huang. She collated all Uganda spirometry results, assisted Ms. Hsieh, and curated this dataset for analysis. Rebecca A. Abelman: Dr. Abelman developed the research question, conducted the analysis with the assistance of Dr. Jessica Fitzpatrick and Dr. Laurence Huang, and wrote and revised the manuscript. Ingvar Sanyu: Mr. Sanyu is the clinical manager in Uganda who also enrolled patients, obtained clinical data, and performed spirometry for this project. Abdul Sessolo: Dr. Sessolo is the study coordinator in Uganda and was responsible for the day-to-day conduct and coordination of the study in Uganda. Jessica Fitzpatrick: Dr. Fitzpatrick performed the statistical analysis and guided the interpretation of the results for the manuscript. Josephine Zawedde: Ms. Zawedde is the study nurse in Uganda who enrolled patients, obtained clinical data, and performed spirometry for this project.
