Bone and mineral metabolism in 2–7-year-old Finnish children and their caregivers following vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets
Linear trends towards increased bone catabolism among children and accelerated bone turnover among adults following PBDs were observed despite adequate vitamin D status and approximately adequate calcium intake. The role of lower protein intake and calcium bioavailability in PBDs and bone health requires further investigation.
