A group of 250 women over the age of 40 are recruited for a study to determine the effects that calcium has on bone health. Half of the participants are given a calcium supplement and the other half are given a placebo. If 13 women on calcium develop osteomalacia and 27 women not on the placebo develop osteomalacia, the relative risk for developing osteomalacia for women over 40 on a calcium supplement is 0.48 when compared to those women not taking a calcium supplement. This indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the population of interest's health because the relative risk is less than 1.0. A. True
B. False
