Energy intake and body weight in ovo-lacto vegetarians.
Levin N, Rattan J, Gilat T.
  Vegetarians have a lower body weight than omnivores. In
this study the relationship between the weight/height ratio and
food consumption was evaluated in 92 ovo-lacto vegetarians
and 113 omnivores in Israel. The average weight of the
vegetarians was significantly lower than that of the omnivores
(60.8 kg vs. 69.1 kg), even though the vegetarian diet supplied
a significantly higher amount of calories than the nonvegetarian
diet (3,030.5 cal/day vs. 2,626.8 cal/day). Consumption of fat
was similar in both groups. Carbohydrate consumption was
higher in the vegetarians while protein consumption was lower.
The prevalence of obesity was significantly lower in the
vegetarian group (5.4%) as compared to 19.5% among the
omnivores. The lower body weight of vegetarians despite a
higher caloric intake is of considerable interest.

Low body mass index in non-meat eaters: the possible roles
of animal fat, dietary fibre and alcohol.
Appleby PN, Thorogood M, Mann JI, Key TJ. Imperial
Cancer Research Fund Cancer Epidemiology Unit, Radcliffe
Infirmary, Oxford, UK.
  OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations of diet and other
lifestyle factors with body mass index (BMI) using data from
the Oxford Vegetarian Study.
  SUBJECTS: 1914 male and 3378 female non-smokers
aged 20-89 y at recruitment to the study.
  MEASUREMENTS: All subjects completed a diet/lifestyle
questionnaire at recruitment giving details of their usual diet
and other characteristics including height and weight, smoking
and drinking habits, amount of exercise, occupation and
reproductive history. Answers to the food frequency
questionnaire were used to classify subjects as either meat
eaters or non-meat eaters, and to estimate intakes of animal
fat and dietary fibre. Subjects were further classified according
to their alcohol consumption, exercise level, social class, past
smoking habits and parity. RESULTS: Mean BMI was lower
in non-meat eaters than in meat eaters in all age groups for both
men and women. Overall age-adjusted mean BMIs in kg/m2
were 23.18 and 22.05 for male meat eaters and non-meat
eaters respectively (P < 0.0001) and 22.32 and 21.32 for
female meat eaters and non-meat eaters respectively (P < 0.0001).
In addition to meat consumption, dietary fibre intake, animal
fat intake, social class and past smoking were all independently
associated with BMI in both men and women; alcohol
consumption was independently associated with BMI in men,
and parity was independently associated with BMI in women.
After adjusting for these factors, the differences in mean BMI
between meat eaters and non-meat eaters were reduced by
36% in men and 31% in women.
  CONCLUSIONS: Non-meat eaters are thinner than meat
eaters. This may be partly due to a higher intake of dietary fibre,
a lower intake of animal fat, and only in men a lower intake of
alcohol.
