*1 The overall dose of soccer ever played relates to both amateur and professional soccer. For the cases, the exposure up to the first diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis was included; for the controls, up to the time of questioning for the purposes of the study.
*2 OR 1: Odds ratio adjusted for age and study center
*3 OR 2: Odds ratio adjusted for age, study center, weight (BMI), jogging/athletics, cumulative kneeling, and cumulative lifting/carrying CI, Confidence interval; h, total hours of soccer; OR, odds ratio
