  2. bIn these analyses, the baseline WOMAC/AUSCAN combined pain score was the main determinant and physical activity at 12–18 months follow-up the outcome measure
  3. cModel 1: adjusted for age, country of residence, and physical activity at baseline
  4. Model 2: additionally adjusted for educational level, smoking, alcohol consumption, weight status, number of chronic diseases, and use of analgesics and/or anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic products
  5. dThe longitudinal associations are displayed per 10 units increase in pain severity
