Plant-based diets and long-term health: findings from the EPIC-Oxford study

Timothy J. Key et al.

Summary: Plant-based diets are beneficial for long-term health with low intake of saturated fat and high intake of dietary fibre, but may pose risks for micronutrient deficiencies. Vegetarians and vegans generally have lower BMI, serum LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure, but may have lower bone mineral density and higher risk of certain conditions such as stroke and bone fractures compared to meat-eaters. Further research is needed to determine the optimal food choices and supplementation for mitigating potential risks.

Summary: This study found that vegetarian diets during pregnancy were associated with smaller neonatal size, potentially due to reduced gestational weight gain in mothers. However, vegetarianism did not lead to small-for-gestational-age-related morbidities or other adverse maternal outcomes.
