  1. Model 1 included age (40–49, 50–59, 60–69, ≥ 70 years), body mass index (< 28, ≥ 28 kg/m2) and sex (n = 12,362);
  2. Model 2 added serum iron (tertiles) on the basis of model 1 (n = 12,357);
  3. Model 3 added serum calcium (tertiles) on the basis of model 1 (n = 12,264);
  4. Model 4 added serum magnesium (tertiles) on the basis of model 1 (n = 12,362);
  5. Model 5 added serum zinc (tertiles) on the basis of model 1 (n = 12,362);
  6. Model 6 added serum phosphorus (tertiles) on the basis of model 1 (n = 12,264)
  7. *Three right knees with K-L 4 grade were excluded for analysis (data from the contralateral knees were retained)
  8. N, number; CI, confidence interval
