The Effect of Protein Intake on Bone Disease, Kidney Disease, and Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Protein is essential for optimal growth, function, and maintenance of health. Its impact on bone, kidney health, and sarcopenia progression remains debated.

Objectives

This review examines the association between dietary protein intake and the risk of bone disease, kidney disease, and sarcopenia to inform protein dietary reference intake updates.

Methods

We searched Medline, EMBASE, AGRICOLA, and Scopus from January 2000 to May 2024, supplemented by citation searching for relevant reviews and original research. We included randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, and nested case-control studies examining dietary protein intake without exercise. We assessed the risk of bias (RoB), performed a qualitative synthesis of low to
