  1. BMI body mass index, HT post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy, NA not applicable, and the variable was insignificantly associated with clinical KOA in the multivariable stepwise logistic regression analysis. The model initially included times of pregnancy, abortion, post-menopause duration, HT, contraceptives use, age, BMI, education, physical exercise, drinking, work posture, and shift work. *p-value < 0.05
