p-value from mixed model for the time by group interaction that included baseline and 12-month time points and controlled for the following: age, time since diagnosis, current adjuvant hormone therapy use, baseline calcium intake, and current bisphosphonate use. p-values are observed and not corrected for multiple testing.
