Protein intake trends and conformity with the Dietary Reference Intakes in the United States: analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2014.

TLDR
The majority of the US population exceeds minimum recommendations for protein intake and protein intake remains well below the upper end of the AMDR, indicating that protein intake, as a percentage of energy intake, is not excessive in the American diet.

Trends in Dietary Carbohydrate, Protein, and Fat Intake and Diet Quality Among US Adults, 1999-2016

TL;DR: Serial cross-sectional analysis of the US nationally representative 24-hour dietary recall data from 9 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles (1999-2016) among adults aged 20 years or older found that from 1999 to 2016, US adults experienced a significant decrease in percentage of energy intake from low-quality carbohydrates and significant increases in percentage from high- quality carbohydrates, plant protein, and polyunsaturated fat.

Plant proteins as high-quality nutritional source for human diet

TL;DR: A significant challenge is encountering the most suitable protein source since it depends on consumers' preferences, industrial availability, geographical location, and cultural elements, and it is possible to select a plant protein source comparing the essential amino acid composition of each source to the reference pattern.

Food processing for the improvement of plant proteins digestibility.

TL;DR: The impact of processing on the protein digestibility and reduction of ANF is presented and several techniques, such as cooking, autoclaving, germination, microwave, irradiation, spray- and freeze-drying, fermentation, and extrusion enhanced the plant protein quality.

Dietary Protein and Muscle Mass: Translating Science to Application and Health Benefit

TL;DR: Common perceptions and benefits of dietary protein on muscle mass are highlighted, misperceptions related to higher-protein diets are addressed, and the translation of academic advances to real-life application and health benefit is commented on.

Low Dietary Protein Intakes and Associated Dietary Patterns and Functional Limitations in an Aging Population: A NHANES analysis

TL;DR: Dietary protein intakes were significantly lower in older age groups, with up to 46% of the oldest adults not meeting the protein intake recommendation, and lower diet quality and physical functioning are related in an aging population.

Frailty in elderly people

TL;DR: Developing more efficient methods to detect frailty and measure its severity in routine clinical practice would greatly inform the appropriate selection of elderly people for invasive procedures or drug treatments and would be the basis for a shift in the care of frail elderly people towards more appropriate goal-directed care.

Dietary protein recommendations and the prevention of sarcopenia.

TL;DR: Clinicians should stress the importance of ingesting a sufficient amount of protein with each meal to preserve skeletal muscle mass in ageing and propose a novel and specific dietary approach to prevent or slow down muscle loss with ageing.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of different dietary approaches to the management of type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Low-carbohydrate, low-GI, Mediterranean, and high-protein diets are effective in improving various markers of cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes and should be considered in the overall strategy of diabetes management.
