Scientific evidence suggests that a vegan diet might be associated with impaired bone
health. Therefore, a cross-sectional study (n= 36 vegans, n= 36 omnivores) was used to …

Context The numbers of vegans and vegetarians have increased in the last decades.
However, the impact of these diets on bone health is still under debate. Objective This …

Background/objectives A vegan diet has been associated with increased bone fracture risk,
but the physiology linking nutritional exposure to bone metabolism has only been partially …

Results: Among the 210 women who initially participated in the study in 2008, 181 women
had completed the study and 29 women were lost to follow-up. The rate of loss in FN BMD …

This cross-sectional study showed that, although vegans had lower dietary calcium and
protein intakes than omnivores, veganism did not have adverse effect on bone mineral …

Vegetarian diets are associated with factors that may not support bone health, such as low
body mass and low intakes of protein; yet, these diets are alkaline, a factor that favors bone …

Public health strategies targeting the prevention of poor bone health on a population-wide
basis are urgently required, with particular emphasis being placed on modifiable factors …

Background: Persons following plant-based diets have lower bone mineral density (BMD)
and higher fracture risk, possibly due to suboptimal nutrient supply. However …

Background: The association between vegetarian diets and bone mineral density (BMD) is
controversial because of conflicting findings from previous studies. Objective: The aim of this …

Background The increased consumption of plant-based diets has encouraged studies of
bone mineral density (BMD). The present systematic review and meta-analysis compared …
