Background Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) and adequate dietary protein are crucial for preventing and managing sarcopenia and frailty in older adults. To date, the optimal intensity of PRT and the added value of dietary protein for enhancing muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in frail …

An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and …

Background & aim Adequate protein intake is essential during recovery from illness to prevent complications such as malnutrition, sarcopenia, and delayed wound healing. Mobile applications may support self-monitoring and early detection of inadequate intake. This study evaluated the concurrent validity …

Background&aims Obesity and sarcopenia are major health concerns, particularly among older populations. Dietary protein may help preserve muscle mass and function, but high-protein diets, especially from animal sources, may also increase adipose mass. We investigated associations of total, animal, and …

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a clinical condition defined by the coexistence of high body fat mass and low muscle function and mass, which increases the risk of adverse health outcomes, including disability and mortality. Early detection and frequent monitoring of SO are essential for preventive …

OBJECTIVES:  To counteract sarcopenia in non-Western migrant older adults, lifestyle interventions with increased physical activity and adequate dietary protein intake are promising. However, regular community-based lifestyle interventions often lack a culture-sensitive approach. The aim of this study …

Purpose The Optimal Physical Recovery After Hospitalization (OPRAH) Intervention is a blended intervention, combining a smartphone app for self-monitoring of physical activity and protein intake with coaching from a physiotherapist and dietician, to enhance the functional recovery after gastro-intestinal …

Objective Hemodialysis (HD) patients face challenges in upholding dietary compliance. This study aimed to compare dietary intake against disease-specific guidelines. Secondary, to assess the overall diet quality and to explore the association between dietary potassium intake and serum potassium concentrations. …

Background Standard care for older outpatients who are at risk of malnutrition in Indonesia is still based on the 2017’s recommendations of the Indonesian Geriatrics Society. and does not provide nutritional supplementation as recommended by ESPEN guidelines 2019/2022. Objective We compared the effects …

Background The Optimal Physical Recovery After Hospitalization (OPRAH) Intervention is a blended intervention to enhance the functional recovery of patients who had gastro-intestinal or lung cancer surgery. Patients wore an activity tracker to monitor their physical activity and registered their protein …
