The value of dietary plant protein in older people

Résumé

Purpose of reviewThe current review provides an update on recent research regarding plant-based protein and their nutritional quality for older people.Recent findingsThere is growing evidence that plant-based proteins may be a valuable strategy for older people to prevent the health risks associated with consuming animal products and to promote better protein intake, as plant-based protein sources are rich in fibres and micronutrients. Although plant-based proteins are less anabolic than animal-derived proteins due to lower digestibility and deficiencies in some essential amino acids, several innovations in food processing and nutritional strategies have been developed to improve the quality of plant-based proteins. For example, the use of protein blends or green-processes as fermentation or germination could improve the nutritional qualities of plant-based foods that could be beneficial for older people, especially to prevent sarcopenia or metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases.The use of plant-based protein sources could help older people diversify their protein sources and more easily meet recommended nutritional intake. Recent literature highlights several health benefits associated with increased consumption of vegetable foods. However, their efficiency on postprandial muscle protein synthesis remains to be evaluated and long-term studies are needed.
