  1. aAmong subjects without pain, none had this condition. bAmong subjects without pain, all had low education level. c In HAS groups, because there were so few subjects, adjustment analysis was not possible. For Adjust in KNHANES and OAI, we used logistic regression analysis with the backward selection method. CVA Cerebrovascular accident, MI Myocardial infarction, BMI Body mass index
