Vegetarian women more likely to fracture hips in later life, study shows

“It’s likely that vegetarians, for one reason or another, and potentially because of lower intakes of important nutrients, have weaker bones and lower muscle mass and both of those things predispose people to hip fractures,” Webster said.

The researchers suspect vegetarians are more likely to be underweight than meat eaters, and that beyond having weaker bones and muscles may also have less fat, which can act as a cushion when people fall. The researchers drew on data from the UK Women’s Cohort Study, which is tracking women over time to assess links between diet and health. Records for 26,318 women aged 35 to 69 revealed that 822, or 3%, had hip fractures in a roughly 22-year period. About 28% of the women were vegetarians and 1% were vegans.
