As osteoarthritis OA is a highly prevalent disease affecting bone and cartilage we undertook the present analysis to determine whether whole blood Pb levels are associated with radiographic and symptomatic OA rOA and sxOA respectively of the knee. Methods The analysis was conducted using cross-sectional data from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project a rural population-based study including whole blood Pb levels bilateral posteroanterior weight-bearing knee radiography and knee symptom data. rOA assessment included joint-based presence Kellgren-Lawrence K-L grade 2 or higher and severity none K-L grade 0 or 1 mild K-L grade 2 moderate or severe K-L grade 3 or 4 as well as person-based laterality unilateral or bilateral . SxOA was deemed present joint-based in a knee on the basis of K-L grade 2 or higher with symptoms with symptoms rated based on severity 0 rOA without symptoms 1 rOA with mild symptoms 2 rOA with moderate or severe symptoms and in person-based analyses was either unilateral or bilateral. Generalized logit or proportional odds regression models were used to examine associations between the knee OA status variables and natural log-transformed blood Pb ln Pb continuously and in quartiles controlling for age race sex body mass index BMI smoking and alcohol drinking. Results Those individuals with whole blood Pb data N 1 669 had a mean SD age of years and a mean BMI of
