High compliance with dietary recommendations in a cohort of meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans: results from the EPIC-Oxford study
The aim of this study was to investigate differences in dietary intakes between 30 251 participants in the EPIC-Oxford study, comprising 18 244 meat-eaters, 4 531 fish-eaters, 6 673 vegetarians and 803 vegans aged 30-90 years, who completed semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires. We hypothesized that these groups characterized by varying degrees of animal product exclusion have significantly different intakes of many nutrients, with possible implications for dietary adequacy and compliance with population dietary goals.
