Brief Summary:
Sarcopenia is defined as a syndrome characterized by decline of skeletal muscle mass and strength or an alteration in physical function. Although some studies showed nutritional supplementation alone might have health benefits for older sarcopenic patients, the results were inconsistent and remain controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate if a sufficient protein diet including supplements with leucine-enriched whey protein and vitamin D can lead to better improvement than sufficient dietary protein alone in maintaining muscle mass and strength among sarcopenic elders.
