Abstract in brief

The UK Women's Cohort Study examined the risk of hip fractures in women following different diets: regular meateaters, occasional meateaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians, focusing on women aged 35-69.
Among 26,318 women studied, vegetarians were found to have a significantly higher risk of hip fracture compared to regular meateaters, while occasional meateaters and pescatarians did not show an increased risk.
The study suggests that body mass index (BMI) did not modify the association between diet and hip fracture risk, indicating a need for further research into the reasons behind the increased risk for vegetarian women and factors related to animal-sourced nutrients.
