Main Study:

This meta has of course been used to attack vegan diets.

Higher BMI or weight in general increases bone density.

From this smaller one where it is most evident, BMD appeared lower in the vegetarians but then when adjusting for BMI the relationship disappeared. https://www.jandonline.org/article/S0...
Popping a study in the meta analysis that found a difference: 6 vegans that had a 3 point lower BMI, easily can be 15 lbs different but it was a small enough study for it not to be statistically significant.

8 vegans in 1998 with lower BMI, still not stat sig diff for BMD even.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9664916/
Or this one, bigger with 28 vegans who had a BMI of 1 point lower, not stat sig for BMD?https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
It also had a Buddhist nun study which found no difference.

The largest one was a 250 person Taiwanese study on more NUNS from 1997.

18 raw vegans and 18 controls. BMI was 5 whole points lower!! No mention of adjusting for BMI.
