Abstract

The number of vegetarians and vegans is increasing each year. In this regard, studies of the quality of diets that exclude slaughter foods, as well as their impact on human health, are becoming more and more relevant. The main purpose of the study was to assess the bone mineral density (BMD) in Russian vegetarians and vegans, as well as in omnivores. Material and methods. Design - cross-sectional study. On an outpatient basis, we examined 103 conditionally healthy people aged 18 to 77 years with different diets: 36 vegans, 38 vegetarians and 29 omnivores. X-ray two energy absorptiometry was used to assess BMD. The density of the lumbar vertebrae (LI-LIV) and femoral neck was measured. Results. Osteopenia in the lumbar spine was diagnosed in 27.8% of vegans, 39.5% of vegetarians, and 31.0% of omnivores. In the femoral neck, BMD corresponding to osteopenia was detected in 19.4, 26.3, and 17.2% of cases, respectively. 18.4% of vegetarians and 6.9% of omnivores had BMD corresponding to osteoporosis in the lumbar spine. Osteoporosis was not diagnosed in the femoral neck. No significant differences were observed after exclusion of people over 50 years of age. This was probably due primarily to the fact that the largest number of peri and postmenopausal women were in the vegetarian group. Excluding people who had took vitamin D supplements regularly did not drastically change the results of the study. When taking into account both exclusion criteria, no significant differences were observed. Conclusion. The findings suggest that BMD in vegans and vegetarians in Russia does not differ from that in omnivores. However, further larger studies are required.

[素食者和纯素食者的骨矿物质密度]。
素食者和纯素食者的数量每年都在增加。在这方面,对不含屠宰食品的饮食质量及其对人类健康影响的研究正变得越来越重要。该研究的主要目的是评估俄罗斯素食者和纯素食者以及杂食动物的骨矿物质密度(BMD)。材料和方法。设计-横断面研究。在门诊的基础上,我们检查了103名年龄在18到77岁之间有条件健康的人,他们有不同的饮食习惯:36名纯素食者,38名素食者和29名杂食者。采用x线二次能量吸收仪评估骨密度。测量腰椎(LI-LIV)和股骨颈密度。结果。27.8%的纯素食者、39.5%的素食者和31.0%的杂食者被诊断为腰椎骨质减少。在股骨颈,分别有19.4%、26.3%和17.2%的病例检测到与骨质减少相关的BMD。18.4%的素食者和6.9%的杂食者的骨密度与腰椎骨质疏松症相对应。股骨颈未确诊骨质疏松。在排除了50岁以上的人群后,没有观察到显著的差异。这可能主要是由于素食组中处于绝经期和绝经后的女性人数最多。排除那些经常服用维生素D补充剂的人并没有显著改变研究结果。当考虑两种排除标准时,没有观察到显著差异。结论。研究结果表明,俄罗斯纯素食者和素食者的骨密度与杂食者的骨密度没有区别。然而,需要进一步更大规模的研究。
