Summary

The study is a 12-week randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the clinical effects of protein-enriched Lacto-vegetarian soups on body composition, muscle strength, and physical performance among community-dwelling older adults. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which is provided one commercial soup (24-30g of protein) per day for 12 weeks, or the control group, which does not receive this supplement. The investigators also assess the frail status, Mini-Mental Status Examination, Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini Nutritional Assessment, WHOQOL-BREF, and blood tests as outcome measures.
