“…Applying a non-linear mixed-effects model analysis of F13CO2, the protein requirement was determined by identifying the breakpoint in the F13CO2 data with graded amounts of dietary protein.ResultsThe mean estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended nutrient intake (RNI) of protein for older adults with sarcopenia were 1.21 (95% CI: 0.95, 1.46) and 1.54 (95% CI: 1.13, 1.95) g/(kg·d), respectively.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study of protein intake in older adults with sarcopenia and indicates that older adults with sarcopenia may require a higher intake of dietary protein.Clinical trial registrationhttp://www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2200061383.…”
