Apr 2, 2022 at 17:58 comment added Matthew Kahle Newman answers this question as well. His paper actually shows that every finite abelian group $G$ is the torsion subgroup of homology $H_{d-1}(K)$ for a simplicial complex $K$ on $n$ vertices, where $n = O \left(log^{1/d} |G| \right)$.
Apr 1, 2022 at 17:55 comment added Ryan Budney That's interesting. I suppose the next step in this parametrized complexity ladder would be to ask how big your complex needs to be to get $p^k$-torsion in $H_n$.
