  1. Data presented as beta coefficient (95% confidence interval). Values are the change in WOMAC pain score per cm2 change in BML size. An interaction between offspring–control status and change in BML size (P = 0.01) as well as sex and change in BML size (P = 0.08) on change in pain was present. BML, bone marrow lesion; WOMAC, Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Arthritis Index. Bold data indicate P <0.05. aAdjusted for age, sex, body mass index, leg strength, and radiographic osteoarthritis.
