Vegetarianism and bone health
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2013
In a nutshell
Several factors in vegetarian diet could potentially work against bone density and growth, whilst several others could favour it.
In practice, the main risk for bone density loss is seen in the stricter animal-free (vegan) diets. For such people, calcium/vitamin D and possibly vitamin B12 supplementation might be appropriate, particularly in children, lactating mothers and post-menopausal women.
