Rationale: While combined lifestyle interventions have multiple health benefits, their impact on the oral microbiome is not known. We explored the effects of a lifestyle intervention including protein drink on the oral microbiome in older adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: In a post-hoc …

The aging process is often accompanied by increase in body weight. Older adults with overweight or obesity might have an overconsumption in energy that is accompanied by inadequate intake of protein, vitamin D, and calcium. It is unclear if intake of protein and vitamin D and calcium is sufficient in …

Digitally supported dietary counselling may be helpful in increasing the protein intake in combined exercise and nutritional interventions in community-dwelling older adults. To study the effect of this approach, 212 older adults (72.2 ± 6.3 years) were randomised in three groups: control, exercise, …

Background: Weight loss is key to treatment of older adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes, but also a risk for muscle mass loss. This study investigated whether a whey protein drink enriched with leucine and vitamin D could preserve muscle mass and improve glycemic control during combined lifestyle …

Introduction: Age-related decline in physical performance causes longer hospitalization and higher mortality rates. The role various micronutrients have on this has been broadly researched, yet a clear overview of current literature’s consensus lacks. Therefore, this narrative review investigatesthe …
