Article Synopsis
- Early prevention of sarcopenia, a condition characterized by loss of muscle mass, involves examining the effects of protein supplements rich in leucine and vitamin D on muscle health among middle-aged and older adults.
- A 12-week clinical trial with 120 participants (ages 50-80) showed that those with insufficient vitamin D benefitted significantly from a supplement containing protein, vitamin D, calcium, and other nutrients.
- The results indicated a notable improvement in skeletal muscle mass for individuals with low vitamin D levels, suggesting that such nutritional support could enhance muscle health in this age group.
Through a survey on dietary intake of children and adolescents with brain lesions, the present study aimed to analyze the current status of nutrient intake and examine the effect of high-protein nutrient drink on their nutritional and muscle statuses. The study participants were 90 juvenile participants aged 8-19 years, with brain lesions. The participants were provided with a protein nutrient drink for 12 weeks and a questionnaire survey on dietary intake was performed to analyze the level of nutrient intake before and after ingestion.
