Who are more prone to diseases , vegetarians or non-vegetarians ?!
Answers:
It depends on the disease.
"Vegetarians typically have lower body mass index, serum total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and blood pressure; reduced rates of death from ischemic heart disease; and decreased incidence of hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers than do nonvegetarians." - Craig, Nutrition Concerns and Health Effects of Vegetarian Diets. Nutrition in Clinical Practice Volume 25 Number 6 December 2010 613-620.
Considering that of dietary related diseases obesity, diabetes and cancers affect the most people, you might say that non-vegetarians are at higher risk in general. However for diabetes at least it is not so much the absence of meat that is beneficial, rather the protective effects of whole grains and lower BMI which drive this relationship. Cancer on the other hand is a bit more clearly linked to meat consumption- in particular colorectal cancer and those of the upper GI tract associated with the intake of heterocyclic amines in meats cooked at high temperatures. (Cross and Sinha, Meat-related mutagens/carcinogens in the etiology of colorectal cancer. Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis Volume 44, Issue 1, pages 44–55, 2004; Bingham, High-meat diets and cancer risk. Proceedings of the Nutrition Society (1999), 58: 243-248).
The main risks faced by vegetarians relate to inadequate intake of certain nutrients, namely vitamin B12, vitamin D, ω-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and zinc. However these are all available through a general ovo-lacto vegetarian diet, and by using supplements or fortified foods as a vegan, Vegans are also possibly at risk of decreased bone density (cause of osteoporosis) however there aren't sufficient studies to say for sure (Craig, Nutrition Concerns and Health Effects of Vegetarian Diets. Nutrition in Clinical Practice Volume 25 Number 6 December 2010 613-620).

There are many factors to take under consideration, so neither in my opinion. These factors are hereditary diseases, also where you live, what you do for a living, race, both vegetarians and omnivores can eat healthy or unhealthy, so diet is also a factor. Just because you are a vegetarian or an omnivore doesn't mean you will be healthier than the other.
Vichy is corrects your subsetability is dependent on your body's ability to cope what you eat does play a part In it but, overall this factor is more important.
