Abstract

Pravilna prehrana je važan čimbenik za održavanje zdravlja i maksimalne kvalitete života u podmakloj životnoj dobi. Starenje je proces spontanih i postupnih promjena organizma koji dovodi do slabljenja fizioloških funkcija, propadanja tkiva i organa. Javlja se sarkopenija, odnosno progresivan gubitak mišićne mase, snage i funkcije. Stručnjaci starijim osobama preporučuju unos proteina između 0,8 i 1,2 g/kg/dan ili više. Postoji pozitivna korelacija unosa proteina i tjelesne aktivnosti s očuvanjem mišićne, ali i koštane mase.

Abstract (english)

Proper nutrition is an important factor in maintaining health and maximum quality of life in old age. Aging is a process of spontaneous and gradual changes in the body that leads to a weakening of physiological functions, deterioration of tissues and organs. Sarcopenia is progressive loss of muscle mass, strength and function. Experts in the field of protein and aging recommended a protein intake between 0,8 and 1,2 g/kg/day or higher for elderly adults. There is a positive correlation between protein intake and physical activity with the preservation of muscle mass, but also bone mass.
