Adjustment for BMI, knee bending activities, self-reported injury and self-reported knee surgery. IPFP: infrapatellar fat pad; HR: hazard ratio; Mean (IPFP), mean value of IPFP intensity; sDev (IPFP), standard deviation of IPFP signal intensity; Mean (H), mean value of IPFP high intensity; sDev (H), standard deviation of IPFP high signal intensity; Median (H), median value of high signal intensity region; UQ(H), upper quartile value of high signal intensity region; Percentage (H): ratio of volume of high signal intensity region/whole IPFP volume; Clustering factor(H): clustering factor of high signal intensity. Significant differences at p<0.05 are shown in bold.
