Feel like they buried the lede here; from the study:
Characteristics of the 26,318 cohort participants at recruitment are summarised by diet group in Table 1. Over a median follow-up time of 22.3 years, 822 hip fracture cases were observed (556,331 person-years), corresponding to 3.1% of the cohort.
So that's a 33% higher risk against a 3.1% average. Vegetarians have a 4.1% risk of hip fracture compared to the average of 3.1%, with an absolute delta of 1%~.
Meanwhile, also in the study for some reason:
On average, at recruitment, pescatarians and vegetarians were younger than regular meat-eaters, reported higher education levels, were more likely to have professional or managerial jobs and less likely to have routine or manual jobs, and were less likely to be married or have any children. BMI was lower in vegetarians (mean (standard deviation, SD) 23.3 (3.9 kg/m2)) and pescatarians (23.3 (3.5 kg/m2)) than in regular meat-eaters (25.2 (4.4 kg/m2)). Prevalence of CVD, cancer, or diabetes at recruitment was highest in regular meat-eaters (n = 1250 (10.2%)), and lowest in vegetarians (222 (5.8%)).
