In my experience, the vast majority of people go vegan out of concern for animals, and not primarily because they want to be more healthy.
Doing a quick search seems to support that, but perhaps the trends / reasons are changing as veganism in general becomes more mainstream.

- Mediterraneo10 5y agoNote that the The China Study book a few years ago (and its accompanying cookbooks) brought some people to adopt a solely plant-based diet, but without necessarily referring to themselves as "vegans". Of course, people following such movements may still be a minority of all plant-based-diet eaters, but they are out there if you search beyond fora calling themselves specifically vegan fora.
