Muscle performance and bone density following a multi-intervention program with milk or soy milk supplementation in older adults: quasi-experimental study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study assessed musculoskeletal outcomes of a combined intervention comprising food-based protein supplementation, nutrition education (NE), and resistance exercise in older adults; comparing milk and soy milk as protein sources.

Design

Quasi-experimental study.

Setting and participants

Eighty-two community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years completed the intervention.

Intervention

This 8-week cluster-based intervention assigned participants to 1 of 4 groups: exercise alone (Group 1), exercise plus NE (Group 2), exercise plus NE with milk supplementation (Group 3), and exercise plus NE with soy milk supplementation (Group 4). All groups engaged in resistance training 3 times per week, and all groups received weekly NE, except for Group 1.
