From the article:
A team of researchers at the Universities of Oxford and Bristol, UK analysed data from nearly 55,000 people in the EPIC-Oxford study, a prospective cohort of men and women living in the UK, who were recruited between 1993 and 2001, many of whom do not eat meat. Prospective cohort studies identify a group of people and follow them over a period of time to understand how certain factors (in this case diet) may affect certain outcomes (in this case fracture risk).
