The dependent variable was change in cartilage volume. aAdjusted for age, sex, offspring-control status, body mass index, past knee injury and baseline cartilage volume. bFurther adjusted for baseline tibial bone area and osteophytes. *Statistically significant associations. CI, confidence interval. |
