N2 - To describe cross-sectional associations between mass effect or signal intensity alteration of the suprapatellar fat pad (SPFP) with knee symptoms and structure in older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 904 randomly selected subjects (mean 62.4 years, 49.9 female) was studied. T1- or T2-weighted fat suppressed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to assess mass effect or signal intensity alteration of SPFP, cartilage volume, cartilage defects, and bone marrow lesions (BMLs). Knee pain was assessed by self-administered Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire. The Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) atlas was used to assess knee osteophyte, joint space narrowing (JSN) and radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA). Univariable and multivariable linear or logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations.
