  1. Values are expressed as a change in total BML size (mm2) per 1 standard deviation increase in dietary or lipid factor. aAdjusted for age, sex, body mass index, baseline BMLs, smoking, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, radiographic osteoarthritis, and time to follow-up. bFurther adjusted for statin use. Boldface denotes statistically significant result. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; β, beta coefficients; BML, bone marrow lesion; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; P, P value.
