[image] #Protein intake (especially ≥1.0 g/kg/day or ≥ 18% kcal, with substantial contributions from high-quality animal proteins) may help to preserve physical function and mobility outcomes in older adults, promoting healthy aging.

[image] "functional indicators of body protein status may be adversely impacted by long-term adherence to vegan diets in young adult women."

[image] "The inverse relationship between height and % body fat has an analogy in many other developed countries and suggests that a diet based on high-quality animal proteins should be the most effective strategy for supporting optimal physical development and preventing child obesity"

[image] "Although hunger and desire to eat are closely related, they are individual concepts [.] Hunger was associated with desires for savoury high-protein food items, while desire to eat was associated with desires for sweet high-carbohydrate, high-fat food items"

[image] "strict avoidance of animal-sourced foods during critical periods may cause deficiencies in iron, vitamins A, D, B12, & docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), affecting overall and bone growth, immune function, and cognitive development"

[image] "vegan eaters feel more isolated and withdraw more from society compared to individuals following an omnivorous diet"

[text] "Animal proteins have more consistent effects on anthropometric markers & body composition in women during the climacteric period, particularly when combined with energy restriction & physical exercise. In contrast, plant-based proteins have more heterogeneous effects, with

[image] "a shift toward more plant-based diets may increase the prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intakes in older adults. Intakes of the nutrients vitamin A, B vitamins, calcium, selenium, and zinc are most at risk when older adults shift to more plant-based dietary patterns"

[image] "Reducing red and processed meat (RPM) is not nutritionally neutral: health outcomes depend on replacement foods, yet little is known about substitution pathways or who is most at risk of unfavourable substitution"

[image] "choosing a vegan diet for one's children adds an additional layer of anxiety related to worry over hostile reception and own concerns for the children's health"

[image] "unsupplemented vegetarian diets offered favorable macronutrient profiles and body composition but were associated with a high prevalence of dietary intakes below recommendations for vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, selenium, zinc, and calcium."
