1 Data are presented as % of participants (n) within each category. 1 TC1X = 1 fl. oz. tart cherry juice concentrate/d; TC2X = 2 fl. oz. tart cherry juice concentrate/d. 2 p-values represent Fisher’s Exact test and Chi Square between TC1X and TC2X. 3 Considers the lowest T-score at any site and classifies into normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis T-score ranges.
