Funded Activity Summary

There are many unresolved issues regarding nutrition in old age such as the obesity paradox, protein intake requirements, and dietary needs of obese and frail older people. We have developed a nutritional model, the Geometric Framework, which has the capacity to address complex questions about the relationship between nutrition and ageing and have an established cohort of older men that will allow us to investigate multiple factors involved in age-related changes in nutrition and obesity.
