Abstract in brief

  • India has a large vegetarian population, accounting for 40% of Asian Indians, but there's a trend towards consuming more processed and unhealthy foods among vegetarians.
  • A study of 235 Indian patients showed that vegetarians had a higher incidence of morbid obesity requiring bariatric surgery compared to non-vegetarians, particularly significant in 2016.
  • The findings challenge the belief that all vegetarian diets are healthy and emphasize the importance of choosing whole, unprocessed foods to prevent obesity.

In an Asian Indian cohort, we found that vegetarian dietary patterns were associated with a higher incidence of morbid obesity culminating in bariatric surgery. Our study is a myth breaker that all vegetarian diets are healthy diets. https://t.co/kWSSOOvt7l
