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...

Daily protein requirements are individual and depend on your body size and special needs. Children, pregnant and lactating women, the elderly, anyone undergoing severe stress like trauma, hospitalization, surgery need more protein. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is the minimum protein needed to...
Protein Requirement of Elderly Women: Nitrogen Balance Responses to Three Levels of Protein Intake Background. For elderly women, insufficient data exist to assess the accuracy of the assumed mean protein requirement of 0.6 g of protein · kg−1 · day... MH Morse,MD Haub,WJ Evans,... ...
Age-related changes in physiological, psychological, and social factors may upset the balance between dietary consumption and nutritional requirements, making adults aged ≥65 y in particular vulnerable to inadequate protein intake (8). Inadequate protein intake is one of several determinants of ...
There is emerging evidence suggesting that at least 1.2 g/kg/day of protein intake is recommended to maintain optimal muscle function in the elderly (Nowson & Connell, 2015). Consistent with these findings, 1.5 g/kg/day of whey protein supplementation for 12 weeks significantly increased ...
Research suggests that aging may reduce the body's ability to absorb or process proteins, which could mean that protein requirements increase with age. Megumi Tsubota-Utsugi, PhD, MPH, RD, of the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Japan, and her colleagues in Tohoku University and ...
These limitations underscore the challenges of determining protein intake requirements for all adults, as well as the difficulty in differentiating needs for men versus women or for older adults versus younger adults.32 Although other methods, including carbon balance34 and amino acid indicator studies,...
Muscle growth is dependent upon protein consumption and the resulting hyperaminoacidemia, which stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and, to a lesser extent, decreases muscle protein breakdown (MPB). When dietary protein consumption is insufficient to satisfy daily requirements, skeletal muscle atrop...
