The researchers examined their dietary habits again in 2010. These candidates were observed continuously for 18 years on average, until 2016 for the occurrence of fractures, the researchers mentioned. The findings of the study revealed that a total of 3,941 fractures were reported, including 566 arms, 889 wrists, 945 hips, 366 legs, 520 ankles, and 467 fractures at other main sites (clavicle, ribs, and vertebrae).

Tong said: "This study showed that vegans, who on average had lower BMI as well as lower intakes of calcium and protein than meat-eaters, had higher risks of fractures at several sites. Well-balanced and predominantly plant-based diets can result in improved nutrient levels and have been linked to lower risks of diseases including heart disease and diabetes." The limitation of their study was that they did not consider fractures that occurred by a fall from standing height and those that were caused by accidents.
