Unfortunately, the often-cited daily protein needs for healthy adults—46 g for women and 56 g for men—aren’t adequate for most people. The RDA of 0.8 g/kg/d makes that 46 g appropriate for a 126 lb woman and 56 g appropriate for a 154 lb man. Plus, research is increasingly find...
protein needs decline from 0.92g down to 0.62g per kg of body weight from 6–18 years. When we reach adulthood, protein requirements differ for men and women, which reflects the higher muscle mass in men compared to women: 0.68g per kg of body weight for men 0.6g per kg of body weig...
older adult;nutrition;hospitalization;protein 1. Introduction The nutritional needs of critically ill geriatric patients (typically defined as individuals 65 years of age and older) are poorly understood. In addition, nutritional needs vary with the phase of illness and recovery—from critical illness,...
We all need protein, but we don't need the same amount. Our needs vary, depending on age, weight, and other factors. For example, you need more if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and people assigned male at birth generally need more than those assigned female. People who are sick, ...
Others go further, and suggest that too much soy could lead to memory problems. Among older women of Japanese ancestry living in Hawaii, those who relied on the traditional soy-based diet were more likely to have cognitive problems than those who switched to a more Western diet.9 ...
That is, the trigger needs to be at a specific threshold for your body to initiate building and repairing muscle. If that trigger is below the required threshold, then muscle synthesis doesn’t occur. When it comes to how much protein women athletes need, getting enough leucine is one key ...
protein from red meat, fish, poultry, legumes, and grains did not show this relationshipFor healthy older people, at least 1 g/kg of body weight; depending on the nutritional status or specific needs of an individual, demand for proteins may increase to 1.2–1.5 g per kg of body weight[...

Further, older women with protein consumption ≥0.20 g/kg/meal had decreased odds for functional limitations: 0.24 (CI: 0.10–0.61) for 1 occasion, 0.20 (CI: 0.08–0.49) for 2 occasions, 0.16 (CI: 0.07–0.40) for 3 occasions, and 0.12 (CI: 0.04–0.32) for 4 occasions. A similar ...
a, Operational definition of sb-pQTLs: an SNP needs to meet both of the following two criteria to be declared a sb-pQTL. First, it is a pQTL in males or females or both at FDR < 0.05. Second, it has a significant genotype-by-sex interaction in protein expression at FDR <...
