Comparison of classical cardiovascular risk factors in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of different radiological (Kellgren–Lawrence, KL) grades and controls showing (A) age; (B) systematic coronary risk assessment (SCORE2 for ages 40–69 years and SCORE2-OP for elderly; (C) body mass index (BMI); and (D) waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Number of patients with KL grade 1, n = 46; KL grade 2, n = 57; KL grade 3, n = 74, KL grade 4, n = 31 and controls (KL grade 0), n = 15. Statistical significance: * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001 (Bonferroni-adjusted p values obtained by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test). Data are presented as mean (·) and ±0.95 confidence interval (CI).
