Sponsor's own description

Minimally processed animal protein is a premier source of essential macro and micronutrients in the diet and is important, especially to older adults who are at increased risk of nutritional deficiency and age-related physiological changes. Our central hypothesis is that adding lean animal protein within a healthy diet following macronutrient recommendations for Americans will enhance nutrient adequacy and attenuate markers of cognitive decline. This is a retrospective study leveraging samples collected from the feeding trial NCT05581953. PI for both studies are the same.
