Abstract
The individual benefits of vitamin D and protein supplementation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sarcopenia (SP) are recognized, yet their combined effects in elderly Chinese with different bone mass remain unclear. This study evaluated a three-month intervention of vitamin D (700–1000 IU/day) plus a high-protein diet in 100 elderly patients with T2DM and SP, stratified by bone mass status: normal (n = 21), reduction (n = 45), and osteoporosis (n = 34). Post-intervention, participants showed significant improvements in appendicular skeletal muscle, skeletal muscle index, handgrip strength, short physical performance battery, bone mineral density, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, osteocalcin, and modified Barthel Index. Reductions were observed in procollagen type I amino-terminal peptide, β C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen, fasting glucose, and HbA1c. These findings indicate that combined vitamin D and protein supplementation may enhance musculoskeletal health, metabolic control, and functional independence in elderly patients with T2DM and SP, especially those with low bone mass.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
