Abstract
Protein intake and its food sources is important to prevent age related loss of muscle mass and strength. An even protein intake distribution throughout the day has been suggested as necessary to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
This study examined the prevalence and determinants of inadequate protein intake, primary food sources and mealtime distribution of protein in Māori and non-Māori of advanced age.
