All 782 evaluated entheses showed normal B-mode echotexture. Inter- and intraobserver reliability was high to excellent, with intraclass correlation coefficient values ranging from 0.84\u20130.99 and 0.91\u20130.99, respectively. Entheseal thickness correlated significantly with age (\n                      <jats:italic>r\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.65\u20130.90), lacking sex-specific differences at most sites. Minor power Doppler activity was detected in 1\u201344% of entheses within 2\u00a0mm of the insertion, increasing to 2\u201368% within 5\u00a0mm.
