Abstract
Adequate protein intake is crucial to maintain body protein content in elderly subjects, but quality of dietary proteins should be also considered since amino acid composition and rate of protein digestion modulate amino acid availability. This study investigates whether the efficacy of optimal protein intake levels for protein retention in the elderly is influenced by protein quality.
