Vegans at higher risk of broken bones, study suggests

A new study has considered the relationship between diets and bone fractures (David Jones/PA)

Vegans are more likely to suffer a fracture than those who include meat and fish in their diet, according to new research.

The study was based on data from nearly 55,000 people – of which nearly 2,000 were vegans – and found those not eating meat or fish were 43% more likely to suffer any type of broken bone.
