The protein committee looks to develop a framework to support future dietary protein recommendations, taking into consideration intake amounts and quality in a North American food supply that is undergoing a shift in the balance of animal, plant and novel protein sources.

Why is this research valuable?

The committee is currently sponsoring research on long-term effects of protein at levels above DRIs in a long-term cohort on cardiometabolic health, inflammation, and performance/disability.

Protein Intake and Human Health: Implications of Units of Protein Intake

Advances in Nutrition, 2020

A literature review revealed the use of myriad units of protein intake, with differential results on cardiometabolic outcomes in nutrition research. This paper recommends that authors be specific about the use of WHO (g/kg ideal BW) compared with US (g/kg actual BW) units, and ideally use gram or percent energy in observational studies.

Dietary Protein and Changes in Biomarkers of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort

Current Developments in Nutrition, 2019

Chronic inflammation is thought to be a major characteristic of aging, which may increase need for substrates, specifically protein, to support anti-inflammatory processes. The aim of this study was to assess associations between dietary protein and changes in biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress over the long term in a community-dwelling population.
