According to research of over 26,000 middle-aged UK women, vegetarians have a 33% higher risk of hip fracture than habitual meat eaters. University of Leeds research, published today on August 11th in the journal BMC Medicine, investigated the risk of hip fracture in occasional meat-eaters; pescatarians, people who eat fish but not meat; and vegetarians compared to regular meat-eaters.
Among 26,318 women, 822 hip fracture cases were observed over roughly 20 years - that represented just over 3% of the sample population. After adjustment for factors such as smoking and age, vegetarians were the only diet group with an elevated risk of hip fracture.
This study is one of very few studies to compare risk of hip fracture in vegetarians and meat-eaters where the occurrence of hip fracture was confirmed from hospital records.
Vegetarian diets have gained popularity in recent years, with a 2021 YouGov survey putting the size of the UK vegetarian population at roughly 5-7%. It is often perceived as a healthier dietary option, with previous evidence that shows a vegetarian diet can reduce the risks of several chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer compared to omnivorous diets.

I like carniverous English chicks. Many are hot.
Protein is very good for bone health.
Not surprising.
You NEED cheeseburgers! And you CAN has them!
That seems kind of counter intuitive,
You would think the meat eating women while chasing their prey might be more likely to trip and fall than those just picking vegetables.
weird.
Bttt
I’m in love. I’ll eat quinoa till I puke.
I wonder why they didn’t look at vegan women, too.
Vegetarian women are more likely to...
....be insufferable.
This one girl was cute kinda though
*Vegetarian diet.
We were born to be meat-eaters.
It's not nice to fool Mother Nature
Veggie are skinny - they get more of the sexy time! Therefore, more sexy time related injuries.
qed
butt soon Klaus sez we all eat bugs only. And we’ll like it.
While the meat eaters may trip chasing prey, the vegans and vegetarians can’t see the ground with their noses stuck in the air.
vegetarians usually are thinner than the rest of us.....WEIGHT has a good effect on your bones, making them stronger, thus less likely to break .....
one of the few advantages of carrying around a few extra pounds..
That makes more sense to me than what others have posted. I also wonder if they included vegans or if the “vegetarian” group was just vegetarians? It’s hard to maintain bone density without calcium.
If meat-eating is so bad why isn’t there sick lions and tigers.
