  1. Logistic regression analysis was performed with the presence of bone marrow lesions as the dependent variable and age; body mass index; bone mineral density; lifestyle habits; presence of pathological lesions of cartilage, namely attrition, meniscal lesions and effusion; medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA); medial posterior tibial slope (PTS) and lateral PTS as dependent variables in the non-OA and EKOA groups. These regression models were adjusted for lifestyle habits, such as smoking, drinking and fitness
