About this study

Official title: The Effect of Protein on Appetite and Food Intake in More and Less Active Older Adults.

This study aims to assess the effect of protein on appetite, food intake and gastric emptying in older adults (≥ 65 years) that are more and less active.

Read the detailed description

To investigate the differences in food intake in older adults that are more or less active and assess any differential responses to protein intake.

To compare the effect of meals with high or low protein level but equal in energy and volume on appetite and gastric emptying in older adults that are more or less active (≥ 65 years).

Being tested
High Protein Milkshake, Normal Milkshake
Keywords
protein, physical activity, older adults, appetite, energy intake, satiety

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ad-libitum meal consumption

    Consumption of the ad-libitum meal is measured (g). Participants are instructed to eat until they feel comfortable full and are given 20 min to consume the meal.

    Measured: 2 days in total

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Ratings of appetite

    Appetite are assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scales (VAS, scale 0-100).

    Measured: 2 days in total

  2. Gastric Emptying

    Gastric emptying is measured using of 100 microliters of 13C Octanoic Acid breath test

    Measured: 2 days in total

  3. Ratings of palatability

    Palatability ratings are assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scales (VAS, scale 0-100).

    Measured: 2 days in total

Individual data sharing
No: No personal identification data will be shared. The study is not under an obligation to share data, however, it is possible that some of the individual (unliked / non-identifiable) data will be useful in a meta-analysis and, hence sharing individual participant data (IPD) will be considered.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ad-libitum meal consumption (time frame: 2 days in total). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05507801, which also lists 7 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2024.
