Enhancing Muscle Health and Metabolism in Pre-frail Middle-aged and Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating the Benefits of Protein-enriched Supplementation and Weekly Exercise

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 100 (actual)

Summary

To evaluate the effects of protein-enriched soup plus exercise on muscle mass and muscle strength. Besides, the investigators use the valued-based healthcare standard set as well as the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression, Charlson's comorbidity index Montreal Cognitive Assessment , and Mini Nutritional Assessment as outcome measures and to use the trial in validate additional supplement protein-enriched soup plus exercise could improve the vitality and health of mid-aged and old adults.

Detailed description

With aging, functions of every organs become to decline. Muscle mass, is one of the decline. According to previous research, adults would lose 40% among from aged 20 to 70. If muscle mass decline combining with the decline of muscle strength is so called Sarcopenia.When muscle mass decline, infectious risk gets higher, and resilience after illness gets lower. In addition, activity and life quality are also responsible for falling, cognitive difficulty, disability and mortality among seniors. We hope to find out the etiologies of Sarcopenia through this program and develop prevention strategy and model to mollify the the negative effect of rapid aging society.
