Breathlessness was measured using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) breathlessness scale. LOC was assessed using five-point scales related to work, life events, perceived future, treated by other people, past changes and life improvements. The LOC factors were dichotomised as having an external or internal LOC. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between external LOC and presence of moderate\/severe breathlessness (mMRC \u22652). Associations between external LOC and higher breathlessness severity score (mMRC 0\u20134) were analysed using ordinal regression. The models were adjusted for age, sex, education level, pack-years of smoking, body mass index, lung function, depression and cardiorespiratory diseases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of 28\u2009730 participants (52% women), 4% experienced breathlessness.
