Protein might stimulate anabolism of not only #muscle but also #bone. This is supported by the results of our recent paper, openly available via onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc… Total&animal #protein intake are related to higher bone mineral density in older adults #osteoporosis #ageing

Using data from four trials that included either (pre-)frail, undernourished or healthy older adults aged ≥65 years, this one found an association between total and animal protein intake with higher bone mineral density, but the opposite was found for plant protein intake.

A recent study found that a well-balanced vegan diet providing a variety of plant-based protein sources may not compromise daily muscle protein synthesis rates when compared to an isocaloric, isonitrogenous omnivorous diet in physically active, older adults.
