Randomized Controlled Trial

Low risk

Reduced grip strength ( 12.5 s; willingness to keep the physical activity level stable throughout the study period.

Unable to perform physical tests; mini-Mental State Examination score /= 0.4 L/day of milk, cultured milk and/or yoghurt) and alcohol consumption >/=40 g alcohol/d; type I or II diabetes or HbA1c >/=6,5%; sSevere inflammation (including those using systemic glucocorticosteroids); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, High blood pressure (180/105 mmHg); acute cardiovascular disease within the last six months History of cancer in the last three years; reduced kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) three times the reference limit) of aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase; subjects with thyroid-stimulating hormone outside reference range (0.2-10 mU/L) were only included if the thyroxine concentration was within the reference range (11.0-23.0 pmol/L).

To investigate the effect of 20 g high-quality protein provided with breakfast and evening meal on muscle mass, muscle strength and functional performance in healthy community-dwelling older adults with reduced physical strength and/or performance.

Double-blinded. The test drinks were blinded for the study subjects and investigators by the identical color, labeling and otherwise appearance.
