Brief Summary:
Consumers are increasingly encouraged to consume more plant-based foods and lower their consumption of foods from animal origin. This shift is driven by environmental and health factors. However, the consequences of such a transition on muscle mass still remains to be explored. This is of particular importance in the older population, where the age-related reduction in muscle mass and strength is highly prevalent. Adequate dietary intake, specifically protein intake, is a well-known strategy in promoting muscle mass in older adults. Plant-based foods are currently considered to be inferior to animal-based foods in their protein quality, and are therefore considered to be suboptimal for the maintenance of muscle mass at an older age. On the other hand, combining plant-based foods may improve the protein quality and thereby the anabolic properties of a vegan meal. Evidence regarding the anabolic properties of vegan diets in older adults is scarce. As such, the current study aims to assess 1) the effects of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on thigh muscle volume (TMV) in community-dwelling older adults and 2) the effect of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet combined with twice-weekly resistance exercise (RE) on TMV in comparison to a self-composed vegan diet without resistance exercise in community-dwelling older adults.
