High protein intake and lifespan

Another study focused on protein intake and lifespan among older adults. The research, conducted with 833 older adults aged 85 to 89, found that high protein intake was associated with a lower risk of death from all causes. Participants with high protein intakes above 19.1% of energy had a 56% reduced risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with low protein intakes. Additionally, the study highlighted that fish protein intake showed the most significant reduction in mortality risk, with a 50-52% decrease. These findings emphasize the importance of protein intake, particularly from sources like fish, for promoting longevity and overall health.
