Targeted protein provision and muscle regeneration in the older patient
Protein, Aging, and Muscle Health
This webinar, part of the ESPEN 2024 symposiums, examines the critical role of targeted protein provision in supporting muscle regeneration for older patients. In this lecture, Professor Stuart Phillips explores the critical role of protein in supporting muscle health as people age. You will discover why muscle mass and function decline over time, how anabolic resistance affects older adults, and why nutrition and physical activity together are essential for preventing sarcopenia and improving patient outcomes.
Key Insights for You as a Healthcare Professional
By watching this video, you will learn:
Why protein requirements are higher for older adults than current guidelines suggest
How leucine and protein quality influence muscle protein synthesis
The combined effects of nutrition and resistance exercise on muscle health
Strategies to use plant and animal proteins effectively for older patients
