In post hoc subgroup analyses, the odds of ILAD among Latinos were 39% lower (ORadj 0.61, 95% CI 0.28\u20130.78), and the odds of having an intermediate-accelerated longitudinal FEV1 decline for the Polish subgroup were 71% higher (ORadj 1.71, 95% CI 0.94\u20133.14) compared to others.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pre-WTC and WTC occupational exposure indicators were unassociated with presence of ILAD.
