Effect of a hypocaloric, nutritionally complete, higher-protein meal plan on bone density and quality in older adults with obesity: A randomized trial

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Jan 16, 2019

Weaver AA, et al. – In this study, 96 obese (BMI: 35.4 ± 3.3 kg/m2] older adults (aged 70.3 ± 3.7 years) were randomized to either a 6-month hypocaloric, nutritionally complete, higher-protein meal plan (weight loss [WL] group) targeting ≥ 1.0 g protein · kg body weight–1 · d–1 or to a weight-stability (WS) group targeting 0.8 g protein · kg body weight–1 · d–1 to assess the impact of diet plans on the prevalence of alteration in bone quality and density. They observed that baseline total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine bone mineral density measures were 1.016 ± 0.160, 0.941 ± 0.142, and 1.287 ± 0.246 g/cm2, respectively. They also noted a lumbar trabecular bone score of 1.398 ± 0.109. According to findings, adherence to a hypocaloric, nutritionally complete, higher-protein diet resulted in similar bone quality and density compared with individuals in the WS group.
