  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 and control status was present at the medial tibial site (P <0.01). 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.
