Regression analysis of age and pain signs in 80 dogs with canine hip dysplasia (CHD). The straight line represents the linear relationship between the independent variable, age, and the dependent variable, change in pain signs. The curved line indicates the relationship expressed by the second-degree polynome. Change in signs of pain of CHD assessed by the owner was recorded by a six point fixed scale where 1 = large aggravation, 2 = mild aggravation, 3 = no change in pain signs, 4 = mild improvement, 5 = large improvement and 6 = complete recovery.
