CZ Nutrition, diet, and health in Czech vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous families

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 95 Czech families (47 vegan, 23 vegetarian, and 25 omnivore), comprising 187 adults and 142 children. Clinical examination, fasting blood, and 3-day prospective diet records were collected to compare growth, cardiovascular health, bone turnover, iodine, and overall micronutrient status among dietary groups and across ages. We used robust mixed-effect models, adjusted for confounders and accounting for family clustering, for group comparison and elastic net logistic regression.
