JSW, joint space width; KL, Kellgren–Lawrence; NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; PASE, Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly; Q, quartile.

2

Adjusted for age, sex, race (African American, white, other), baseline KL grades 1–3, injury/surgery (yes, no), baseline PASE score, NSAID use (yes, no), and total energy intake (kcal/d, continuous) using a Cox proportional hazards model.

3

Additional adjustment for income, education, smoking, and alcohol did not significantly alter results.

4

Additionally adjusted for BMI (<25.0, 25.0–29.9, and ≥30) and weight change from baseline (continuous).

5

Western pattern: Q1 is more healthy, Q4 is less healthy; prudent pattern: Q1 is less healthy, Q4 is more healthy; Western − prudent pattern: Q1 is more healthy, Q4 is less healthy.
