OA = osteoarthritis; MTP = metatarsophalangeal; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; NRS = numeric rating scale; MFPDI = Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index; SF‐12 = Short Form 12; PCS = physical component summary; MCS = mental component summary; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.
Statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Higher MFPDI scores indicate more pain/functioning; higher SF‐12 PCS and MCS scores indicate better health; and higher HADS scores indicate worse psychiatric ratings.
Defined as frequent pain, aching, or stiffness on all or most days in the previous month.
Defined as participants being very or somewhat dissatisfied with the foot symptoms persisting for the rest of their lives.
Hallux valgus was defined according to Roddy et al's 13 self‐report instrument and dichotomized definition.

MTP = metatarsophalangeal; OA = osteoarthritis; adj = adjusted; OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; NRS = numeric rating scale; MFPDI = Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index; SF‐12 = Short Form 12; PCS = physical component summary; MCS = mental component summary; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
Adjusted for baseline scores, age, sex, and body mass index.
0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.
Higher MFPDI indicate more pain/functioning; higher SF‐12 PCS and MCS scores indicate better health; and higher HADS scores indicate worse psychiatric ratings.

Values are the number (%) unless otherwise indicated. OA = osteoarthritis; MTP = metatarsophalangeal.
Services or treatment for foot pain included at least 1 of the following: physical therapy, hospital specialist, podiatrist, chiropodist, acupuncture, osteopath or chiropractor, prescription drugs, foot operation, foot injection, or general practitioner (family doctor).
Not calculated, as expected cell counts were below 5 for all 3 phenotypes.
