Fig. 1: Dose-response relationship between the categories of percentage body weight change and changes in HOOS scores.
From: Loss of body weight is dose-dependently associated with reductions in symptoms of hip osteoarthritis

Linearity tests were adjusted for sex and baseline values of age, weight, and respective HOOS subscale scores. P values less than 0.05 signify a linear dose-response relationship. A positive difference for change in Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) subscales indicates an improvement. SD standard deviation.
