29 Study Aim To investigate whether increasing dietary protein, when combined with resistance training enhanced muscle mass, strength and function in older women. Study Hypothesis Modest increase dietary protein (~1.3 g/kg/d) through an increased intake of lean red meat (2Xday) (~80g/meal), combined with progressive RT will lead to greater gains in muscle mass, strength and function compared to PRT Control carbohydrate diet

35 Strategies: reduce falls fractures Adequate vitamin D status Progressive resistance raining Maintain body weight (BMI 24-30) Nutritionally adequate diet: Energy protein (~36% higher RDI) 1.3g/kg body weight Calcium Nowson CA, Flicker L, Fiatarone Singh MA.
