The effect of breakfast protein on appetite control in ageing subjects

(1) Adequate protein and energy intake is essential to the elderly as they are a group particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and unintentional weight loss. On average, volunteers (n = 50) report feeling more hungry (p < 0·001) and less full (p < 0·001), with an elevated appetite score (p <...

Summary:(1) Adequate protein and energy intake is essential to the elderly as they are a group particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and unintentional weight loss. On average, volunteers (n = 50) report feeling more hungry (p < 0·001) and less full (p < 0·001), with an elevated appetite score (p < 0·001) after consuming the normal protein drink compared to the high protein drink. [...]these elderly volunteers were able to detect differences in appetite in response to a short-term morning meal manipulation.
