2 Fig 1 Physical function tests (mean ± SD) in controls (n range, 52–53) and in men with knee OA (n range, 53–54). The knee OA patients were further divided into 4 subgroups according to the radiographic severity of their knee OA using Kellgren and Lawrence scale37 (Kellgren and Lawrence scores of 1–4). The patients with knee OA exhibited significantly poorer performance than controls in all physical function tests. There were no statistically significant differences between knee OA subgroups in any of the tests. *P<.001 (Student t test for 2 independent samples); †P<.001 (Mann-Whitney nonparametric test); ‡P<.01 (Mann-Whitney nonparametric test).
