Evaluating health outcomes and functional measures of dietary protein beyond isotopic measures of protein turnover.
May 18, 2023
Virtual, Event
Experts in a range of health outcomes deliberated the scientific evidence linking protein intake among the general adult population, including bone, cardiometabolic health, weight management, and mobility/frailty/functional decline. Specific functional indicator measures were identified for outcomes with high potential to use in determining protein requirements.
