a

From a proportional hazards model stratified by prevalent condition (where appropriate), age, hormone therapy and diet modification randomization arm, and trial phase (time-dependent). Time to event equals 0 on date of randomization.

b

All nonhip fractures use adjudicated data during the clinical trial and self-reported data thereafter.

c

Coronary heart disease death includes definite and possible coronary heart disease death.
