Effects of Plant-Based Protein Interventions, with and without an Exercise Component, on Body Composition, Strength and Physical Function in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Isobel L. Stoodley,

Abstract: Maintaining muscle mass, strength, and function is crucial for our aging population. Exercise and dietary protein intake are recommended strategies; however, animal proteins have been the most studied. Plant-based protein sources have lower digestibility and incomplete amino acid profiles. However new innovative plant-based proteins and products may have overcome these issues. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to synthesize the current research and evaluate the effects of plant-based protein intervention… Show more

“…The authors concluded that protein intake higher than the recommended daily allowance was associated with better physical performance and greater muscle strength in older adults. However, the data concerning the high consumption of proteins and its impact on physical function decline over time are inconsistent [ 36 , 37 ]. A wide range of serum proteins increase with physiological aging.…”

“…The absence of a definitive correlation, as shown in Figure 1 , underscores the complexity of factors influencing the Δ% FM-to-FFM ratio beyond diet and physical activity alone. These could potentially include hormonal variations [ 23 ], metabolic rates [ 24 ], or even genetic predispositions [ 25 ], none of which were accounted for in this current study.…”
