A table of results from the study
carried out by the Institute for Social Medicine and Epidemiology (IFES)
at the Medical University (Med-Uni) in Graz, Austria.
It concluded: “Our study has shown that Austrian adults who consume a
vegetarian diet are less healthy (in terms of cancer, allergies, and
mental health disorders), have a lower quality of life, and also require
more medical treatment.”
Study coordinator and epidemiologist Nathalie Burkert told The Austrian Times: “We have already distanced ourselves from this claim as it is an incorrect interpretation of our data.
"We did find that vegetarians suffer more from certain conditions like asthma, cancer and mental illnesses than people that eat meat as well, but we cannot say what is the cause and what is the effect.
“There needs to be further study done before this question can be answered.”
