When referring to diet, the term “plant-based” has mixed interpretations among U.S. adults, and its meaning varies significantly among demographic groups, according to new research published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. 

Key findings of the study include:

56% said “plant-based” means vegan—avoiding all animal products.

35% said it means eating abundant plant foods while still eating some meat, dairy and eggs.

7% said they didn't know.

2% gave another answer.

Interpretation also varied significantly by demographic group: 63% of adults ages 65-94 equated plant-based with vegan, compared with 51% of 18-to-34-year-olds.
