Abstract

Nueva evidencia muestra que los ancianos necesitan más proteínas en la dieta que los jóvenes para mantener la buena salud, recuperarse de la enfermedad y mantener la funcionalidad. Los ancianos tienen que prepararse para los cambios en el metabolismo proteico relacionados con la edad y para un catabolismo aumentado. En este artículo se desgranan las recomendaciones de la Sociedad de la Unión Europea de Medicina Geriátrica.

New evidence shows that older adults need more dietary protein than do younger adults to support good health, promote recovery from illness, and maintain functionality. Older people need to make up for age-related changes in protein metabolism, and to offset an increased catabolism. This article presents the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) recommendations.
