Relative protein intake and associations with markers of physical function in those with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To examine the independent associations between relative protein intake (g kg^-1  day ¹ ) and markers of physical function in those with type 2 diabetes, while also comparing with current guidelines for protein intake.

Methods

This analysis reports data from the ongoing Chronotype of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Effect on Glycaemic Control (CODEC) study. Functional assessments included: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), 60 s sit-to-stand (STS-60), 4-m gait speed, time to rise from a chair (×5) and handgrip strength. Participants also completed a self-reported 4 day diet diary. Regression analyses assessed whether relative protein intake was associated with markers of physical function. Interaction terms assessed whether the association
