Plant-Powered aging: could a greener diet keep muscles strong?

NCT ID NCT07681986

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether a diet rich in plant-based proteins (70% plant, 30% animal) affects muscle strength, mass, and function in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Over three months, participants follow either a plant-enriched or standard animal-protein diet. Researchers measure quadriceps strength, protein metabolism, and overall physical performance to understand the impact of dietary protein sources on aging muscles.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

plant-enriched diet

What this could lead to

If plant-based diets preserve muscle health, this could guide dietary recommendations for healthy aging.

What could go wrong

This is a small, short-term study in healthy older adults, so results may not apply to everyone or predict long-term effects.
