Translation of a tailored nutrition and resistance exercise intervention for elderly people to a real-life setting

van Dongen, Ellen JI; Leerlooijer, Joanne N; Steijns, Jan M; Tieland, Michael (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging); de Groot, Lisette CPGM; Haveman-Nies, Annemien

BACKGROUND: Combining increased dietary protein intake and resistance exercise training for elderly people is a promising strategy to prevent or counteract the loss of muscle mass and decrease the risk of disabilities. Using findings from controlled interventions in a real-life setting requires adaptations …

Protein turnover and metabolism in the elderly intensive care unit patient

Phillips, Stuart M.; Dickerson, Roland N.; Moore, Frederick A.; Paddon-Jones, Douglas; Weijs, Peter J. M. (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging)

Many intensive care unit (ICU) patients do not achieve target protein intakes particularly in the early days following admittance. This period of iatrogenic protein undernutrition contributes to a rapid loss of lean, in particular muscle, mass in the ICU. The loss of muscle in older (aged >60 years) …

Effect of a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise on the preservation of fat free mass during weight loss in overweight and obese older adults: a randomized controlled trial

Verreijen, Amely M; Engberink, Mariëlle F; Memelink, Robert G (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging); van der Plas, Suzanne E (Faculteit Bewegen, Sport En Voeding); Visser, Marjolein; Weijs, Peter J M (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging)

BACKGROUND: Intentional weight loss in obese older adults is a risk factor for accelerated muscle mass loss. We investigated whether a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise preserves fat free mass (FFM) during weight loss in overweight and obese older adults. METHODS: We included 100 overweight …

A higher protein intake is not associated with 5-year change in mid-thigh muscle cross-sectional area by computed tomography in older adults

Verreijen, A.M.; Engberink, M.F.; Brouwer, I.A.; Cawthon, P.M.; Newman, A.B.; Tylavsky, F.A.; Harris, T.B.; Weijs, P.J.M. (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging); Visser, M.

Rationale: A higher protein intake is suggested to preserve muscle mass during aging, and may therefore reduce the risk for sarcopenia. We explored whether the amount, type (animal/vegetable) and essential amino acid (EAA) composition of protein intake were associated with 5-year change in mid-thigh …
