  1. Logistic regression analysis is performed with the presence of the spreading root sign as the dependent variable, and age, body mass index, bone mineral density, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), medial posterior tibial slope (PTS) and lateral PTS as the dependent variables. This regression model is adjusted for lifestyle habits, including smoking, drinking and fitness
