This study aims to determine the association between protein intake and risk of higher–level functional decline in older community–dwelling adults. Higher protein, particularly animal protein, was associated with lower risk of decline in higher–level functional capacity in older men. Animal protein intake may be a modifiable indicator for early detection and prevention of higher–level functional […]
