Summary

The subjects of this intervention program are mainly based on community-dwelling mid-aged and older adults. The investigator's program will provide meals containing different proportionated protein.As this project is a double blind test, only the investigators will know which subject corresponding to specific group of diets.

Besides, the investigators use the valued-based healthcare standard set as well as the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression, Charlson's comorbidity index Montreal Cognitive Assesment ,and Mini Nutritional Assessment as outcome measures and to use the randomized controlled trial design to validate if increased protein density diet could improve the vitality and health of mid-aged and old adults .

Conditions

  • Muscle Loss
  • Muscle Weakness
  • Fragility

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

25% protein

Compared to usual group of 15% protein in meals, intervention group will receive 25% protein contents under same estimated calorie menus. Protein may come from either egg, meat, fish, soy, or milk product.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

15% protein
