One take on this study: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyGZW8Ml9l0

A few points:

* It is a legitimate unbiased study

* Need to consider the database used. It follows people starting in the 90s. A lot has changed with respect to vegan diets since then.

* Consuming sufficient calcium shows no additional risk in fractures

* More body weight (e.g. overweight) makes bones stronger which reduces risk of fractures

Probably one can simulate overweight by doing weight training?
Yes. There's even evidence that doing weight training when you're a young adult increases bone strength permanently
