Abstract
Rationale: According to the National Health and Nutrition Survey of Japan, 16.8% of individuals aged ≥65 years are in a suspected condition of undernutrition (body mass index [BMI] ≤ 20kg/m2, a threshold for significant increases in the risks of long-term care dependence and overall mortality). In cooperation with City K, we conducted a nutritional assessment and education workshop with older adults on the essential amino acid leucine, which is necessary to maintain muscle health. This study aimed to investigate changes in the body composition and health consciousness in older adults with decreased muscle strength after intervention.
