|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total cholesterol | 0.91 (0.62, 1.33) | 0.63 | 0.9 (0.6,1.35) | 0.61 |

aOdds ratio of having a bone marrow lesion present at baseline for each unit increase in total cholesterol, natural logarithm (Ln) of triglycerides, natural logarithm of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or for the total/HDL ration after adjusting for age and body mass index. CI, confidence interval.
