An Enhanced Protein (Dairy) Weight Loss Intervention for Dynapenic Obesity: Impact on Muscle Quality and Composition

NCT02437643 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 81

Last updated 2018-11-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the trial is to assess the effects of combining regular, generous intakes of high quality protein (primarily from dairy and other animal source proteins) with calorie restriction and low-intensity exercise on muscle quality and muscle adipose infiltration (along with bone mineral density \[BMD\] and a number of secondary outcomes) in frail, obese, older adults participating in a 6 month intervention. The investigators will compare these effects to those of a traditional control regimen of calorie restriction and low-intensity exercise over the same duration.
