  1. Protein Intake, Weight Loss, and Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal WomenWayne W. Campbell and Minghua TangDepartment of Foods and Nutrition, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IndianaApril 23, 2010 • Christy Goff, Danielle Taylor, Ellie Freeman, Julia Simpson • Advanced Macronutrients, Dr. Koutoubi 2011

  2. Presentation Outline • Purpose/Objective of the study • Background Information • Who and What is being studied • Methods • Results • Limitations • Future research • Personal opinions

  3. Background Information • Many studies have examined the relationships between increasing protein intake and bone mineral density and bone turnover markers • Produced conflicting results • Different age groups • Types of protein given (dairy vs mixed protein) • Percentage of protein consumed in a calorie restricted diet

  4. Purpose and Objective of this study • To see if higher protein diets have an effect on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) during weight loss in overweight and moderately obese postmenopausal women • And if different sources of protein diets have an effect on BMD

  5. Parameters of Participants Study One: Study Two: -Only Women -age 50-80 years old ->2 years postmenopausal -BMI between 25-34 -NO Clinically abnormal kidney, liver, or heart function -NO Clinically abnormal protein or hematological status -NO Diagnosed diabetes mellitus or receiving insulin replacement therapy -NO Smokers -Only Women -Age >20 years old -BMI between 25-37 -NO clinically abnormal kidney, liver or heart function -NO clinically abnormal protein or hematological status -NO Diagnosed diabetes mellitus or receiving insulin replacement therapy -NO smokers

  6. Methods • 2 randomized controlled feeding studies conducted • Study 1: 28 women • Consumed a 750kcal/day energy deficit diet • Randomly assigned to high protein or normal protein groups • Study 2: 54 women • Consumed 1250kcal/day • Randomly assigned to habitual diet (control), or one of 3 energy restricted groups (carb, chicken or beef)

  7. Measurement Methods • STUDY 1 • Blood samples were taken post intervention and analyzed for blood urea nitrogen • STUDY 2 • Fasting state venous blood samples were collected at baseline and post interventions • Measurements of serum bone alkaline phospatase parathyroid hormone and IGF 1 were made • Urine samples were also taken every 24 hrs at baseline and post intervention • Measurements of bone resorption rate, creatinein, calcium, phosphorous and total nitrogen were measured. • Micronutrient intakes were estimated for both using Nutrition Data System for Research • Potential renal acid load (PRAL) was evaluated for each of the conditions as well

  8. Study 1 • Diet • Randomly assigned to either 18% protein (from vegetarian sources) or 30% protein (with 40% coming from pork) • Comparable amounts of protein from dairy • Study not intended to compare sources of animal protein (meat vs. dairy) • All participants consumed a multivitamin & 2 calcium citrate tablets • Timeline: 1 week baseline, 12 week dietary intervention with energy restriction

  9. Text Study 1-Results

  10. Study 2- Methods • Diet- Either habitual (control) or restricted to 1250 kcal • 1250 consisted of • 1000 kcal/day same lacto-ovo vegetarian basal diet • 250 kcal • CARB- shortbread cookies and sugar-coated chocolates • CHICKEN- cooked chicken breast + 10 g of butter • BEEF- beef tenderloin • CARB group received 16% protein, CHICKEN and BEEF received 26% protein control continued to consume usual diets • 29 of the 54 used calcium supplements • Timeline- 2 week baseline, 9 week dietary intervention

  11. Study 2-ResultsParticipant Body Composition • At baseline there was no difference among the 4 groups in • Age • Height • Body mass • BMI • Body composition • At the end of the study the Carb, Chicken and Beef groups lost body mass, fat mass, fat-free mass, and decreased their BMI compared to the control

  12. Study 2-ResultsBone Parameters • At baseline BMD, bone mineral content, and bone area was similar in 4 groups • After weight loss • Bone mineral content and bone area was unchanged

  13. ResearchConclusions • During energy restricted weight loss programs, overweight postmenopausal women lost more BMD when consuming a high protein diet vs. a normal diet • Overweight postmenopausal women consuming an energy restricted high protein diet containing protein from animal flesh sources lost more BMD than those consuming a diet with protein from non animal flesh sources

  14. Limitations • Length of Study • Relatively short-term; possible that changes in BMD were due to normal cycles of bone remodeling • Equipment • Dual energy x-ray absorptiometer can be insensitive to slight changes in BMD and/or affected by changes in body water levels.

  15. Limitations • Source of protein: dairy vs. meat • Study not meant to distinguish between the two but the difference in Ca2+ could influence degree of BMD loss. • Exercise • Not documented at all; could vary widely among participants • Number of Participants

  16. Future Research Possibilities • Same study and population • Document women’s protein intake prior to study • Repeat study among: • Other age groups • Men • Athletes • Normal weight population (no energy-restriction) • Study effects of calcium: high animal protein diet across all groups in study • Control Group: no added calcium; no dairy foods in diet • Group #1: + dairy • Group #2: + calcium supplement • Group #3: + dairy and calcium supplement

  17. Personal Opinion on Applicability • Prevent rising rates in osteoporosis • Effects of high protein diets in people trying to lose weight • Applies to our future practices 17
