Clinical Trial: Plant-based Diet in Older People: What Consequences for Muscle Health?

U.S., July 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07681986) titled 'Plant-based Diet in Older People: What Consequences for Muscle Health?' on June 18.

Brief Summary: This randomized, controlled, two-arm clinical study aims to determine how increasing the proportion of plant-based foods in the diet affects skeletal muscle strength, mass and function, protein metabolism, microbiota and key metabolic markers in healthy older men and women. We hypothesize that diets enriched with animal-based foods will maintain maximal quadriceps strength-the primary outcome of the study-more effectively after the 3-month nutritional intervention than plant-based diets. Proteomic analyses will be performed to identify ...
