Note: Adjustments were made based on baseline differences between intervention and comparison conditions.

HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval.

Survivors were followed for a mean of 7.3 years

*

Models were adjusted for baseline body mass index.

Models were adjusted for age at study entry, age at diagnosis, radiation treatment and menopausal status.

Models were adjusted for anti-estrogen use.
