The determination of whether increased dietary protein can positively affect health outcomes
is hindered by the absence of prospective, randomized trials directly addressing this issue in�…

Recent evidence suggests that the Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein is
inadequate, and that the timing and distribution of protein consumption throughout daily�…

Optimizing dietary protein intake to improve health requires a detailed consideration of
topics including muscle protein anabolism, appetite control and satiety. Although each area�…

It is well accepted that daily protein intake is an important dietary consideration to limit and
treat age-related declines in muscle mass, strength, and function. Furthermore, we propose�…

Resistance training is recognised as a good strategy for retarding age-related declines in
muscle mass and strength. Recent studies have also highlighted the potential value of�…

Declines in skeletal muscle mass and strength are major contributors to increased mortality,
morbidity and reduced quality of life in older people. Recommended Dietary�…

Aging is associated with reductions in muscle mass and strength, so-called sarcopenia, and
is generally characterized using muscle mass index (MMI= FFM (kg)/height (m) 2). It is�…

The underlying aetiology of sarcopenia appears multifaceted and not yet fully defined, but
ultimately involves the gradual loss of muscle protein content over time. The present�…

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�…

Abstract The Dietary Reference Intakes set the protein RDA for persons> 19 y of age at 0.8 g
protein⋅ kg body weight− 1⋅ d− 1. A growing body of evidence suggests, however, that the�…
