Summary

The researchers tested the hypothesis that a protein pulse-feeding pattern was more efficient in improving muscle mass and immune functions than was a protein spread-feeding pattern, after 45 days, in elderly malnourished patients.

Conditions

  • Protein-Energy Malnutrition

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Protein pulse-feeding

Dietary protein (80% of daily intake) was consumed in one meal (12.00h)

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Spread diet

Dietary protein was spread over the four meals.
