Older adults (65+) require double the amount of protein intake compared to younger adults for the same rate of muscle protein synthesis.

“if he did the same thing with the older population he saw that that increase in muscle protein synthesis was less Steep and also leveled off more rapidly”

“the response to the 20 grams of protein was much much is less in the older population so the same amount of protein that was ingested did not lead to the same amount of protein synthesis”

“The younger adults have twice as much >> um muscle protein synthesis. And for the older adults to get the same amount of muscle protein synthesis, they had to double their amount of protein to get the same amount of muscle protein synthesis as the younger adults.”

“And for the older adults to get the same amount of muscle protein synthesis, they had to double their amount of protein.”

“If you compare younger adults and older adults 65 years age and older, you give them the same exact protein dose, the younger adults have twice as much um muscle protein synthesis.”

“If you're older, you might need a higher daily and per-meal protein dose (30–40 grams versus 20–30 grams for someone younger) to maximize muscle protein synthesis and increase or maintain muscle mass.”

“Older adults need twice as much protein per meal as younger adults to get the same amount of muscle protein synthesis.”

“older adults who need about 0.4 gram of protein per kilogram or 0.18 gam per pound of protein per dose”

“if you're older you need a higher total daily protein intake to maintain or increase muscle mass it also means that you need a higher dose of protein at each meal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis”
