J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2018;73(5):688-694

Effect of Protein Intake on Lean Body Mass in Functionally Limited Older Men

S. Bhasin, C.M. Apovian, T.G. Travison, et al.

JAMA Intern Med. 2018;178(4):530-541

This study aimed at investigating whether increasing protein intake to 1.3 g/kg/d in older adults with physical function limitations compared with usual protein intake within the RDA (0.8 g/kg/d) improves lean body mass (LBM), muscle performance, physical function, fatigue, and well-being and augments LBM response to a muscle anabolic drug.
