As we age, we should be increasing our protein intake in order to help stave off problems associated with low-protein intake, including an increased risk of falls and fractures, a weaker immune system and a higher risk of infection. However, studies have shown that manyolder adultseat less t...
For the study, they assessed protein intake, nutritional status,grip strengthusing a hand dynamometer, timed-up-and-go (TUG) to test the ability to stand up from a seated position, walk, turn and then sit back down, and chair stand in 273 older (60+ years-old) male and female African...
Protein and aging: the protein needs of older adults are greater than previously realized. Adequate protein intake protects muscle mass, helping to ensure good health and quality of life in seniors. Conditions such as calorie intake, wounds, weight loss and infection can adversely affect protein ...
The team found that protein intake greater than the RDA had no significant effect on lean body mass, fat mass, muscle performance, physical function, fatigue, or other well-being measures. “Our data highlight the need for re-evaluation of the protein recommended daily allowance in older adult...
Furthermore, considering age-associated anabolic resistance to dietary protein, higher protein intake should be emphasized in older adults than in younger people. To develop a dietary protein recommendation for older adults in Korea, we reviewed the relevant literature, including interventional studies ...
Daily protein intake was estimated for 12 food items listed in a food frequency questionnaire. Results Three-thousand four-hundred twenty-four older adults (mean age: 72.7 ± 5.7 years; 55% women) were included in the study. Results of linear regression analysis indicated that protein intake ...
older adults. Although studies examining the direct link between oral health and protein intake in older adults are limited, some have explored the relationship via malnutrition, which is also prevalent among older adults. Protein–energy malnutrition (PEM) may be associated with poor oral health, ...
PROT-AGE recommendations for dietary protein intake in healthy older adults • To maintain and regain muscle, older people need more dietary protein than do younger people; older people should consume an average daily intake in the range of 1.0 to 1.2 g/kg BW/d. • The per-meal anabolic...

Energy and protein intake in older people (regardless of modality) appears to be independently associated with psychosocial variables. Introduction Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is frequently observed in patients on dialysis, with the prevalence ranging from 18 to 75%.1, 2 PEW is characterized by th...
