Overall, these discussions demonstrate high interest and impact by emphasizing the role of adequate protein intake in maintaining independence among the elderly, with phrases like 'better disability trajectories' and 'important research' highlighting active engagement and recognition of the study's significance.

AgreementStrong agreement

Most discussions support the study’s findings that higher protein intake benefits functional health in very old adults.

InterestHigh interest

Participants show strong interest in the topic, highlighted by ongoing discussions and references to related studies.

EngagementHigh engagement

Several discussions cite detailed research, methods, and implications, indicating deep engagement.

ImpactHigh impact

The conversations reflect a significant influence, emphasizing dietary strategies for aging populations and calling attention to the research’s importance.

Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates the link between protein intake and disability progression in very old adults (85+ years), finding that higher protein consumption is associated with better functional health and less severe disability over five years.
  • Participants with higher protein intake (at least 10 g/kg of adjusted body weight daily) were more likely to experience minimal or mild disability trajectories compared to severe disabilities.
  • The research suggests that increasing protein intake could be a useful dietary strategy to promote healthy aging and maintain independence among the oldest adults.

Community-dwelling older adults (85+) who consume higher proportion (>1 g/kg/d) of #protein have better disability trajectories https://t.co/pj59dMQC81

@DFrost1989 @mackinprof @BJSM_BMJ @RobMorton23 @BradSchoenfeld @MennoHenselmans @TheAlanAragon AND...several studies show serious functional impairment from too LOW a protein intake in the old [65+] and especially the very old [85+] eg https://t.co/nLS5D2W5Cm and https://t.co/q9WvMt8Oea
