Fig. 2From: Associations between biomarkers of bone and cartilage turnover, gender, pain categories and radiographic severity in knee osteoarthritisAssociation between WOMAC pain and the CTX-II biomarker of cartilage turnover. Association between geometric mean concentration of uCTX-II (creatinine corrected) and pain intensity in the full study population (Nā=ā1241) and by gender (male: Nā=ā399, female: Nā=ā842). Groups of pain intensity consist of tertiles of WOMAC pain sub-score intensity of each knee (ranging from 0 to 100), resulting in six groups ranging from mild pain in both knees (āLow-Lowā) to severe pain (āHigh-Highā) in both knees. Error bars represent Ā±ā1sem range. āaā pā<ā0.05 compared to the āLow-Lowā group. WOMAC, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis IndexBack to article page
