There's no data on vegans going to and from vegetarian diets - however it is possibly quite high as I've seen a number of Youtube videos of vegans who have gone between vegan and vegetarian a number of times.
Okay good point. I have to account not only any who returned to meat, but also for any who returned to vegetarianism. The latter might have occurred more frequently.
Plus, a vegan will be more likely to switch if they are experiencing health problems that could be a result of their veganism.
