Abstract in brief

  • Older adults require more dietary protein than younger individuals to support health, recovery, and functionality due to age-related changes in protein metabolism and disease-related inflammation.
  • The PROTAGE Study Group recommends that older adults aim for at least 10 to 12 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, with higher intake (around 12 g/kg) for those who are physically active or exercising.
  • Special considerations are needed for older people with severe kidney disease, who may need to limit protein intake; meanwhile, factors like protein quality and timing may be important, but more evidence is needed to make clear guidelines.]

La recomendación de 0,83 ha sido ya cuestionada en varias ocasiones. En el año 2013, el grupo PROT-AGE ya habla de un rango BASE de 1,0 a 1,2 g/PRO/kg/día (https://t.co/0ezpIcJyJC) Además, apuntan a un consumo SUPERIOR a 1,2 en adultos mayores más activos.

@agingdoc1 @garacreen @JudithSimcox @LammingLab Don't worry, lovers of steak & protein. This is just another way to make obese mice loose weight (always increases lifespan). No relevance to healthy weight human aging, where more protein is likely better, as recommended by a bunch of medical societies (https://t.co/xYBybUr3ql).

@aginghighlights Yes, if you are an obese mouse,"limiting dietary levels of specific essential amino acids may provide the secret to a long and healthy life" through weight loss! But for humans, geriatric societies say the opposite: "older adults need more dietary protein" https://t.co/Mm1ZRSavUg

@LammingLab @robwilliamsiii Really? How come that medical associations actually say "older adults need more dietary protein than do younger adults to support good health" (https://t.co/Mm1ZRRTsSg)? This has been cited ~2000 times. Always extrapolating from obese subjects risks giving very very bad advice!

@jdmiller_ @KristerKauppi @TSchmauck @AdrianMoliere @CharlesMBrenner I fully agree that this would be a very important experiment, both for rapamycin as a drug, and my theory (less important). To my knowledge, nobody has done this yet. But reducing growth impairs fitness (https://t.co/xYBybUr3ql). Just looking at lifespan might obscure other cost.

高齢者は最低1日1.0−1.2g/kg（体重が60kgなら60g〜72g）のタンパク質の摂取を推奨する。 ただし、重度の腎臓病患者は除く。 低栄養の高齢者は非常に多いです。 栄養面のアドバイスも行いより効果の高い介入を。 https://t.co/FpRWiiZust
