Context: The impact of dietary protein on body composition changes after older adults
purposefully lose weight requires systematic evaluation. Objective: This systematic review …

Weight loss is prevalent in the elderly population, with deleterious health consequences,
notably loss of lean body mass and subsequent functional decline. Protein intake below the …

Background: Dietary-induced weight loss is generally accompanied by a decline in skeletal
muscle mass. The loss of muscle mass leads to a decline in muscle strength and impairs …

Background Intentional weight loss in obese older adults is a risk factor for accelerated
muscle mass loss. We investigated whether a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise …

Objectives Increasing protein or amino acid intake has been promoted as a promising
strategy to increase muscle mass and strength in elderly people, however, long-term …

(1) Background: The present work aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of
observational studies, in order to investigate the association of relative protein intake and …

Background The present study explored cross-sectional and longitudinal associations
between protein intake and physical function in older adults. Methods We conducted a …

Background: Obesity is a significant cause of functional limitations in older adults; yet,
concerns that weight reduction could diminish muscle along with fat mass have impeded …

Background Increasing protein intake has been suggested as an effective strategy to
ameliorate age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Current reviews assessing the …

Importance The Institute of Medicine set the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for
protein at 0.8 g/kg/d for the entire adult population. It remains controversial whether protein …
