Structural equation model. Manifest (measured) variables are represented by boxes, latent (i. e. not observable) variables are represented by circles. Abbreviations: hOA = histological osteoarthritis grade, CC = cartilage calcification, Age = age in years, BMI = body mass index [kg/m2], CCL/R = DCR-detctable hyaline cartilage calcification of the left/right central axial slab of MH, OAL/R = histological OA grade (by OARSI) of the left/right MH
