United Kingdom 🇬🇧: Men who adopt a vegetarian diet are 50% more likely to break a hip than their meat-eating peers, finds a study published by the newspaper “Daily Telegraph”
Discussion
Fully 50% of geriatric aged people who break a hip are dead within six months of the fall. Eat good food and get the throw rugs out of your parent’s and grandparent’s homes. It’s a credible risk to their lives.
That 50% figure seems low honestly. Get your elders to do strength and balance training. There are physios who specialize in the elderly population. Some who even do in home training.
Low seems likely, but it was the last number I read in a credible research paper. Throw rugs were the largest route of causation.
