Dietary patterns and hip fracture in the Adventist Health Study 2: combined vitamin D and calcium supplementation mitigate increased hip fracture risk among vegans.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Concerns regarding the adequacy of vegetarian diets with respect to fracture risk continue.

Objectives

We aimed to explore the influence of 5 previously defined dietary patterns on hip fracture risk and whether this association is modified by concomitant calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
