Background The age-related loss of muscle mass significantly contributes to the
development of chronic diseases, loss of mobility and dependency on others, yet could be …

Background The skeletal muscle mass decreases with age and the responsiveness of aging
muscles' protein synthesis rate (MPS) to protein intake seems to deteriorate. Objective This …

Background Maintaining sufficient dietary protein intake is important for nutritional status,
muscle mass, and healthy aging, but the clinical effects of high protein diet remained …

Objectives Sufficient protein intake and habitual physical activity are key factors in the
prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. In the present study, we assessed habitual dietary …

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

Background Dietary protein may slow the decline in muscle mass and function with aging,
making it a sensible candidate to prevent or modulate disability progression. At present …

Objectives: Sub-optimal dietary protein consumption may partially underlie the age-related
loss of muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). Specifically, dose, timing, source and …

Background Low protein intake has been linked to reduced muscle strength and physical
performance in older adults but little is known about how it may affect muscle health and …

Increased protein intake has been suggested as an effective strategy to treat age-related
loss of muscle mass and function, but the amount of protein required to improve muscle and …

Background An inadequate protein intake may offset the muscle protein synthetic response
after physical activity, reducing the possible benefits of an active lifestyle for muscle mass …
